INSTRUCTIONS (Step numbers in short)
1. Make crust dough
1) Add mozzarella + cream cheese to a microwave-safe bowl.
2) Microwave 45–60 seconds, stir, then heat again until fully melted and smooth.
3) Stir in almond flour + egg and mix until a dough forms (use hands if needed).
2. Form mini pizzas
1) Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2) Line a baking sheet with parchment.
3) Divide dough into 6 equal balls.
4) Press each ball into a small round, about 3–4 inches wide.
5) Bake 8–10 mins until lightly golden.
3. Mix ranch
1) In a small bowl, mix mayo, sour cream, dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
2) Taste and tweak seasoning if you want.
4. Top the pizzas
1) Spread a thin layer of ranch on each crust.
2) Toss the chopped chicken with chipotle powder (or finely minced chipotle pepper).
3) Divide chicken over the mini crusts.
4) Sprinkle with bacon and mozzarella.
5. Final bake
1) Return to oven for 6–8 mins, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
2) Garnish with green onion if using.
3) Let them cool a couple minutes so the crust firms up, then inhale.
( PRO TIPS)
* If the dough is too sticky, lightly oil your hands or chill it 5–10 mins.
* Spice level: start with 1 tsp chipotle and build up if you like it spicy.
* Killer leftovers—reheat in air fryer or oven, NOT the microwave, to keep the crust crisp.
