Instructions
1
Prep
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Measure the almond flour, cream cheese, egg, and 3.1 oz (88g) mozzarella for the crust.
2
Melt 3.1 oz (88g) mozzarella with the cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl on high for 60-90 seconds, stirring halfway, until fully melted and smooth.
3
Stir the almond flour and egg into the melted cheese until a sticky dough forms, then knead briefly with damp hands.
4
Bake the dough at 425°F (220°C) for 8-10 minutes until the surface is dry and lightly golden at the edges.
5
Dot ricotta over the baked crust, scatter the remaining mozzarella and sliced garlic on top, sprinkle with parmesan, oregano, and red pepper flakes, then bake at 425°F (220°C) for 5-6 minutes until the cheese bubbles and turns golden.
6
Rest the pizza on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
7
Plate
Slide the pizza onto a plate. Drizzle with olive oil, scatter torn basil over the top, and finish with salt and black pepper.
