Keto Pepperoni Pizza with Fathead Crust

• ¼ cup sugar-free pizza sauce (e.g., Rao’s)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 8–10 slices pepperoni
• Optional: Fresh basil, crushed red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.

2. Make the Fathead Dough

3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute, stirring halfway, until fully melted and smooth.
4. Add the almond flour, beaten egg, baking powder, and optional seasonings. Mix thoroughly until a smooth dough forms. Use your hands or a spatula to knead if needed.

3. Shape the Crust

5. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a circle or rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.
6. Remove the top sheet of parchment and transfer the rolled-out crust (on the bottom parchment) to the baking sheet or pan.

4. Bake the Crust

7. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Watch the edges carefully.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly (this helps prevent sogginess).

5. Add Toppings & Finish Baking

9. Spread the sugar-free pizza sauce evenly over the crust.
10. Top with shredded mozzarella and arrange pepperoni slices on top.
11. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 6–8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Serve

12. Let cool slightly, then slice into squares or wedges.
13. Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh basil or crushed red pepper flakes for added flavor.
