HOMEMADE CHICAGO STYLE DEEP DISH PIZZA
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked Italian sausage
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni or other toppings of your choice
- 1/2 cup low-carb marinara sauce
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, almond milk, olive oil, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough into a well-greased 9-inch deep dish pizza pan, forming the crust up the sides of the pan. You can use a springform pan if you have one.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until it starts to become golden brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
- While the crust is cooling, layer 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese on the bottom of the crust.
- Add your cooked Italian sausage and other toppings of your choice on top of the cheese.
- Pour the low-carb marinara sauce evenly over the toppings.
- Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Enjoy your keto-friendly Chicago-style deep dish pizza!
