Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking your pizza.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1.5 cups of mozzarella cheese and 2 tablespoons of cream cheese. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the cheeses are fully melted and smoothly combined.
- In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the egg, 3/4 cup of almond flour, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients form a sticky and uniform dough.
- Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Cover it with another piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking and roll it out into a round pizza crust shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Remove the top layer of parchment paper.
- Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until it begins to turn golden brown.
- Remove the crust from the oven and spread about 6 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese if any is desired, then evenly place the 25 slices of pepperoni on top.
- Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the pepperoni is slightly crisp.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious, gluten-free almond flour pizza!
