Ingredients
  

Pizza Base

  • ½ cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
  • 2 tablespoon parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 ounce mozzarella cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoon cream cheese softened
  • 1 large egg

Toppings

  • 1 medium fresh tomatoes
  • 4 ounce cheddar cheese shredded
  • ¼ cup low-carb tomato sauce such as Rao's
  • medium red bell pepper or any other color
  • 2 tablespoon fresh basil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Start by measuring the dry ingredients and spices into a bowl. Add in the almond flour, psyllium husk, parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, measure out the mozzarella cheese.
  • Microwave the cheese for 40–50 seconds until completely melted and pliable. Add the cream cheese on top.
  • Add the egg to the dry ingredients and mix them together a little bit.
  • Add the melted mozzarella cheese and cream cheese to the dry ingredient mixture and mix everything together. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty — they're the best tool for the job here. You might get a bit messy, but it'll be oh so worth it in the end!
  • Separate the dough into equal portions. Roll the dough balls out quite thin — you want them to be about 1/4" thick. You can use the top of a pot or other large round object to cut out your pizza base. You can form the circles by hand, but mine always seem to turn out oval. When I work with this dough, I like to use a Silpat because they're naturally nonstick and make things a lot easier.
  • Fold the edges of the dough inward to form a small crust on the dough. If you have any scraps remaining, you can add these to the crust if you'd like.
  • Bake for 10 minutes — just long enough so that they're starting to turn a light golden brown.
  • Remove crusts from the oven and let cool for a moment.
  • Slice the tomato and add it to the pizzas along with the tomato sauce. (Aww, they look like little peace signs!).
  • Top the pizzas with shredded cheddar.
  • Slice up the bell peppers. You can use whatever colors you'd like — I'm using red and yellow.
  • Arrange the peppers on top and throw the pizzas back in the oven for another 8–10 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool. In the meantime, slice up some fresh basil into thin strips.
  • Top with basil, serve, and enjoy the fresh bites of summer!
