Ingredients
Ingredients: For the flatbread crust:
- 1 cup almond flour
- ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup cream cheese
- 1 egg large egg
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 1 Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil for greasing
Ingredients: For the pizza toppings:
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup tomato sauce sugar-free, or low-carb
- ½ cup cooked shrimp peeled and deveined
- ½ small zucchini thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- ¼ tsp oregano
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1 tbsp Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Make the flatbread crust: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese, then stir until smooth. Add the egg, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt to the cheese mixture, and stir until well combined.
- Shape the dough: Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a thin, round shape (about 1/4 inch thick). Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten the dough.
- Bake the crust: Bake the flatbread crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Prepare the toppings: While the crust is baking, sauté the zucchini in a little olive oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until softened. Set aside. If your shrimp are not already cooked, quickly sauté them in olive oil with a pinch of salt for about 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque.
- Assemble the pizza: Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven. Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the crust. Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese, sautéed zucchini slices, and cooked shrimp. Sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes.
- Final bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, drizzle with olive oil, and top with fresh basil leaves. Slice and enjoy your keto pizza!
