Ingredients

Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tablespoon cream cheese, cubed
  • ¾ cup nut flour (cashew, almond or hazelnut)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil

Toppings:

  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • 3 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
  • 5-6 fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat. Tear an additional sheet of parchment paper, and set aside.
  • Combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese in a medium sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir to combine, and then microwave for another 30 seconds.
  • Working quickly, add the egg, nut flour, and seasoning to the cheese mixture, and stir to thoroughly combine. The dough will should begin to form a sticky ball. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and cover with the additional parchment. Roll or pat dough to about ¼ inch even thickness. Gently remove the top parchment, and use a fork to poke holes through the crust. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until crust has become golden brown, remove from oven.
  • Use a fork to pop any large bubbles in the dough, then coat with a thin layer of the pizza sauce. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and then top with a layer of mozzarella. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Tear the basil and scatter it over the pizza. Enjoy.
