Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
For the Toppings:
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup low-carb marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round pie or cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave or on the stovetop, and then stir it into the dry mixture. Add the eggs and mix everything thoroughly until it forms a dough.
- Press the dough into the greased pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. To achieve this, you can either use your hands or the back of a spoon.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until it’s lightly golden. Remove it from the oven.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the baked crust.
- Pour the low-carb marinara sauce over the cheese layer and spread it out evenly.
- Now, it’s time to add your favorite toppings. You can use sliced pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, sliced black olives, and sliced mushrooms. Be creative and add your preferred keto-friendly toppings.
- Top the pizza with the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove the deep dish pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
