Equipment

Preheated oven
Pizza pan or baking sheet
Parchment paper
Mixing bowl
Rolling pin (optional)

Ingredients

For the crust:

1 ½ cups almond flour (150g)
1 tbsp psyllium husk powder (9g)
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese (30g)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp salt
1 large egg
2 tbsp olive oil (30ml)

For the topping:

½ cup sugar-free pizza sauce (120ml)
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (150g)
½ cup pepperoni slices (56g)

Additional toppings (optional):

Sliced olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, grated parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
Add the egg and olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more almond flour until it's manageable.
Place the dough on the prepared pizza pan and press it out with your hands to form a round pizza shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Use a rolling pin for a smoother surface if desired.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until it begins to turn golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the sugar-free pizza sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce and arrange the pepperoni slices on top. Add any additional desired toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Feel free to get creative with the toppings – just remember to account for any additional carbs if you're strictly monitoring your keto macros. The crust can also be pre-baked and frozen for a quick and easy keto pizza base ready whenever you are!
