Easy Keto Pepperoni Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

For the crust:

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • A pinch of salt

For the topping:

  • ½ cup sugar-free pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup pepperoni slices
  • Optional: Other keto pizza toppings you can put include olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Your Alfa Forni: 
  • Preheat your Alfa Forni to a high temperature (around 400°F / 200°C). This helps achieve a perfectly cooked crust.
  • Prepare the Crust:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute until melted and soft.
    • Stir the mixture until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the melted cheese, followed by the egg. Mix until a dough forms.
    • Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and use another piece of parchment to flatten it into a pizza shape. Aim for a thickness of about ½ inch.
  • Bake the Crust:
    • Carefully transfer the crust on the parchment paper onto the preheated Alfa Forni. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Add the Toppings:
    • Remove the crust from the oven and spread the sugar-free pizza sauce evenly over the surface.
    • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and arrange pepperoni slices on top. Feel free to add any other desired keto pizza toppings.
  • Final Bake:
    • Return the keto pizza to the Alfa Forni and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy your guilt-free keto pepperoni pizza under the beautiful UAE night sky!
