Ingredients

For the crust:

1 ½ cups almond flour (150g)
¼ cup coconut flour (30g)
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 large egg
2 tbsp olive oil (30ml)

For the topping:

6 ounces smoked salmon sliced (170g)
1 cup cream cheese softened (240g)
¼ red onion thinly sliced
1 tbsp capers
1 tbsp fresh dill chopped
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded (100g)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Begin by making the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
Add the egg and olive oil into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to your desired thickness for the pizza base.
Remove the top parchment paper and transfer the crust (on the bottom parchment paper) to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until it's lightly golden and firm to the touch.
While the crust is baking, prepare the cream cheese spread by mixing cream cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth and spreadable.
Once the crust is pre-baked, spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface.
Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by slices of smoked salmon and red onion.
Sprinkle capers and fresh dill over the toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Slice and serve immediately, garnishing with extra dill if desired.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier spreading.

The crust can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

For a crispier crust, consider adding an additional egg white or baking for a longer period before adding toppings.

Adjust the amount of lemon juice and zest to suit your taste preferences.

Feel free to add additional keto-friendly toppings like arugula or avocado slices after baking.
