Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Fathead Dough:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese.
- Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir, then microwave for an additional 30 seconds, or until melted. Stir again to combine.
- Add the almond flour, egg, salt, and rosemary to the melted cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until a dough forms.
3. Form the Pizza Crust:
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into a circular shape, about 1/4 inch thick, for your pizza crust.
- Transfer the rolled dough (with the bottom parchment sheet) onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
4. Bake the Crust:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown.
5. Add the Toppings:
- Remove the crust from the oven.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the garlic powder and grated Parmesan cheese on top of the tomato sauce.
- Evenly distribute the pepperoni slices and jalapeno slices over the pizza.
- Sprinkle the dried basil over the toppings.
6. Final Bake:
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
7. Serve:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy your Keto Pepperoni and Jalapeno Pizza!

Tips:

- Preheat Your Oven: Ensure your oven is fully preheated to the required temperature before baking the pizza to achieve a crispy and well-cooked crust.

- Use Parchment Paper: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper when rolling it out to prevent sticking and make transferring to the baking sheet easier.

- Precook the Crust: Bake the fathead crust alone for a few minutes before adding the toppings. This helps the crust become firm and prevents it from becoming soggy.

- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to add other keto-friendly toppings like olives, mushrooms, spinach, or extra cheese to suit your taste preferences.

- Monitor Baking Time: Keep an eye on the pizza while it's baking to avoid overcooking the cheese. Remove it from the oven once the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remember, the key to a successful keto diet is finding delicious alternatives, and this pizza is sure to become a favorite.
