- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Optional: 1 teaspoon psyllium husk for better structure

- 1/4 cup mushrooms sliced

- Fresh basil or baby spinach leaves
Instructions
- For the Low Carb Pizza Base:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together almond flour, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, and olive oil. Add the egg and psyllium husk (if using) and knead the mixture until a dough forms.
- Roll out the dough between two pieces of parchment paper into your desired pizza shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 5-7 minutes to par-bake the crust.
- Remove the crust from the oven and set it aside.
- For the Low Carb Pizza Sauce:
- In a saucepan, combine tomato passata, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and salt and pepper.
- Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Let the sauce cool slightly before spreading it on the pizza base.
- For Assembling and Baking the Pizza:
- Preheat the oven again to 425°F (220°C).
- Spread a layer of low-carb pizza sauce over the par-baked crust.
- Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, meat toppings (pepperoni, sausage), and vegetables (mushrooms, zucchini, spinach), as desired.
- Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
