Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 2 cups Shredded mozzarella (low moisture) Pre shredded mozzarella works but freshly shredded yields better results.
  • 2 oz Cream cheese Makes the crust creamier.
  • 1 cup Almond flour Fine grind is easier to mix.
  • 1 large Egg Add after letting the mixture cool a bit.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances the flavor.
  • Optional: garlic powder or Italian seasoning For added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt the cheeses gently in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth.
  2. Mix in almond flour and seasonings until well combined.
  3. Let the mixture cool slightly, then add the egg and mix quickly.
  4. Press the dough out between parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thick.
  5. Pre-bake the crust in the oven until it starts to brown, about 10-15 minutes.
Topping and Finishing
  1. Add sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice.
  2. Bake again until toppings are heated through and cheese is melted.
  3. Let it rest for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing to firm up.

Notes

For best results, avoid soggy toppings and heavy sauces. Let the crust cool before adding toppings to maintain crispiness. Customize thickness based on preference—thinner for crispier or thicker for chewier.
