Keto Southwest Pizza

Recipe makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

For the Keto Dough:
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 oz (28g) cream cheese
1 large egg
¾ cup almond flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp salt

For the Toppings:
¼ cup sugar-free tomato sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 chili peppers, whole
¼ small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 oz (28g) pepperoni, sliced

Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and well combined.

Stir in the egg until fully incorporated.

Add the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a circle or rectangle, about ¼ inch (0.6cm) thick.

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the sugar-free tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Arrange the whole chili peppers, thinly sliced red bell pepper, and sliced pepperoni on top of the cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Slice the pizza into portions and serve hot.
