Description
A delicious heart-shaped pizza made with a low-carb Fathead dough and topped with fresh ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- 1 cup assorted fresh toppings (e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, spinach)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 oz of cream cheese. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds until melted and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
- Pour the melted cheese mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top and roll out the dough into a heart shape, about ¼ inch thick.
- Remove the top parchment paper and transfer the dough (still on the bottom parchment) to the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven and spread ½ cup of pizza sauce evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and your choice of fresh toppings over the sauce.
- Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes on top before baking.
- To make it vegetarian, load up on a variety of colorful veggies like zucchini, artichokes, and cherry tomatoes.
