# Ingredient List:
→ Crust
01 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
02 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese
03 - 1 cup almond flour
04 - 1 large egg
05 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
06 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Toppings
07 - 1/2 cup sugar-free tomato sauce or pizza sauce
08 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni or keto-friendly toppings
10 - 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
11 - 1/4 cup sliced bell pepper (optional)
12 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian herbs
# Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 1–2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until smooth and melted.
03 - Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, and the large egg to the melted cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until a uniform dough forms.
04 - Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using lightly oiled hands or a spatula, spread and flatten the dough into a 12-inch circle approximately 1/4-inch thick.
05 - Place in the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the crust is golden and develops a slight crisp at the edges.
06 - Remove the crust from the oven. Evenly spread tomato sauce over the crust, sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, and arrange pepperoni, olives, and bell pepper slices as desired.
07 - Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 7–8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and fully melted.
08 - Remove from the oven, sprinkle with dried oregano or Italian herbs, slice, and serve immediately.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- This crust gets beautifully crisp and golden—a true surprise for anyone missing regular pizza night.

- If you rush spreading the dough without oiling your hands, it sticks to everything—instead, a bit of oil keeps things smooth.
- Baking the crust an extra couple of minutes before topping creates a sturdy base that won't sag.
03 -
- Microwave times vary—watch closely so the cheese just melts, not bubbles over.
- Brush the crust edge with olive oil for an even more golden, delicious finish.
