Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
1 ounce Cream Cheese
2 Large Eggs
1/3 cup Coconut Flour
- Recommended Add-Ons
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
2 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
1 tbsp Olive Oil
Pizza Toppings: more mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, pizza sauce, basil, oregano, pesto, or anything else you’d like to top your pizza with!
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F or 205°C
- Melt the cream cheese and mozzarella in the microwave on high for 45 seconds.
- Crack the eggs and stir them completely.
- Forcibly mix the cream cheese into the mozzarella a bit.
- Microwave on high again for 45 seconds.
- Quickly, while the cheeses are hot and gooey, mix and knead in eggs, coconut flour, garlic, italian seasoning and salt. Keep kneading until you’ve formed a uniform dough.
- Split dough into two even balls, so that you can make two pizzas.
- Using parchment paper, spread out the dough into a thin layer with your hands. This is a little easier to do if you drizzle and spread a little olive oil around your dough ball. Then, using a rolling pin, flatten your dough a bit more into a flat and even bread. Placing another piece of parchment paper on top of your dough while rolling will make this easier.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Add any topping you’d like to construct your pizza. Bake for another 8-10 minutes to desired crispiness. I suggest letting the sides brown and crisp a bit, because they will bake faster than the middle, and you want the middle to bake through.
- Let cool and solidify for a few minutes, and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute Coconut Flour for ¾ cup Almond Flour, and remove one egg
- I like to flip the bread in between, but this is not absolutely necessary. I also turn the pan halfway through for even baking.
- In my experience, rolling the dough very thin produces a better tasting pizza. If it is too thick, it will not bake through, and you might taste the grainy coconut flour more.
