Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Ingredients: Measure out the mozzarella cheese, almond flour, cream cheese, baking powder, and crack the egg into a bowl.
3. Microwave Cheese: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is completely melted and well combined. Be careful not to overheat.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and baking powder together. If you’re using Italian seasoning and garlic powder, add them to the dry ingredients.
5. Combine Mixtures: Once the cheese is melted, add the dry ingredients to the cheese mixture. Also, add the egg. Mix well until a dough forms.
6. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a flat surface covered with parchment paper. Knead the dough until it becomes a smooth, uniform consistency.
7. Roll Out the Dough: Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to your desired thickness. Thinner crusts will be crisper.
8. Shape the Crust: Remove the top layer of parchment paper and shape the crust as desired. You can make it round or rectangular.
9. Pre-Bake the Crust: Transfer the crust (with the parchment paper underneath) onto a baking sheet. Pre-bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden.
10. Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
11. Bake Again: Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
12. Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy your keto-friendly pizza!
