Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are melted and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt.
- Combine the melted cheese mixture with the almond flour mixture. Mix well until a dough forms.
- 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 and thickness.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and transfer the crust (still on the bottom parchment paper) to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Spread the low-carb marinara sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add your desired toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve your delicious homemade keto-friendly pizza hot and enjoy
