Instructions:
1. Prepare the Fathead Dough:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and well combined.
- Add the almond flour, egg, and a pinch of salt to the melted cheese mixture. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more almond flour.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a circle or rectangle, depending on your preference for pizza shape. Aim for about 1/4 inch thickness.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
3. Prepare the Basil Oil:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Set aside.
4. Cook the Turkey Sausage:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Assemble the Pizza:
- Transfer the rolled-out fathead dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the cooked turkey sausage evenly over the dough, followed by the sliced Kalamata olives and shredded mozzarella cheese.
6. Bake the Pizza:
- Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Prepare the Garlic/Parsley Butter:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley.
8. Finish and Serve:
- Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and drizzle the fresh basil oil over the top.
- Brush the edges of the crust with the prepared garlic/parsley butter.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, and slice into portions.
- Serve your delicious keto-friendly pizza immediately and enjoy
