• Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 2 tbsp cream cheese

  • 3/4 cup almond flour

  • garlic salt

  • pizza stone or pre-heated cookie sheet

  • parchment paper

  • rolling pin

• Method:

  • Place pizza stone or cookie sheet on the middle rack of your oven and preheat to 500 degrees.

  • Place mozz and cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and cook on high for 15 seconds.

  • Remove, stir with a fork until blended.

  • If you see water, it's ruined. Throw it away and start over.

  • If not yet soft and blended, put back in microwave for another 15 seconds.

  • Repeat until melted just enough so it sticks together. (I normally do it 3 times.)

  • Add almond flour and stir well until completely incorporated

  • Allow to cool for a minute until you can work it with your hands. (I do not let it cool. I don’t think it is that hot and I think it is easier to work with when it is warmer.)

  • Pick up the dough, kneed it for 60 seconds, and shape into a round ball with your hands

  • Place on a piece of parchment paper, and flatten down to an inch thick

  • Place another piece of parchment on top and roll with rolling pin until 12" in diameter. Experiment with sizes and thicknesses. Too thin and it might turn into a cracker crust.

  • Remove top parchment and set aside

  • Sprinkle the top with garlic salt and place (including bottom parchment) directly onto the pizza stone or cookie sheet

  • Bake under watchful eye for 2-4 minutes or until edges get brown

  • Remove from oven by holding the parchment at the edges

  • Pierce bubbles with a fork or knife

  • Flip over onto second piece of parchment

  • Brush top (which should be golden brown) with olive oil

  • Add pre-cooked toppings, cheese, herbs, etc.

  • Place back in oven for another 5-8 minutes or until toppings have cooked and/or cheese melted

  • Remove and enjoy
