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
