Instructions

Instructions

  • Place the 2 ounces cream cheese (block style) and 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 60 seconds, then stir until the cheeses are fully combined and smooth.
  • Add the egg, 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon baking powder to the cheese mixture. Mix until a uniform dough forms.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a baking sheet or pizza pan with cooking spray.
  • Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and cover it with parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Remove the top piece of parchment, then use a fork to poke holes across the crust.
  • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Spread the 1/2 cup pizza sauce (sugar free) evenly over the crust.
  • Evenly top the sauced crust with 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Scatter the 8 ounces cooked and crumbled Italian sausage, the 1/2 red bell pepper (sliced), the 1/2 green bell pepper (sliced), and the 1/2 sweet yellow onion (sliced) over the cheeses.
  • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes
It is best to shred your own cheese for this recipe, especially for the crust.
Omit the bell peppers and onions to reduce the number of carbs.
