Easy Keto Margherita Pizza

Ingredients:

For the Sauce:

• 1/3 cup canned crushed tomatoes (no sugar added)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 small clove garlic, minced
• Kosher salt to taste

For the Keto Dough:

• 1 1/2 cups shredded whole-milk mozzarella
• 2 tablespoons full-fat sour cream
• 2/3 cup almond or coconut flour
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• Kosher salt to taste
• Olive oil for greasing

For the Toppings:

• 1/3 cup shredded whole-milk mozzarella
• Crushed red pepper flakes, for sprinkling
• Dried oregano, for sprinkling

Instructions:

• In a small bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes, olive oil, minced garlic, and a pinch of kosher salt. Mix well and set aside.

• Preheat your oven to 375°F.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella and 2 tablespoons sour cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.
• Add the almond or coconut flour, lightly beaten eggs, and a pinch of kosher salt to the melted cheese mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
• Grease a piece of parchment paper with olive oil and place the dough on it. Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
• Transfer the rolled-out dough on the parchment paper to a baking sheet.

3. Pre-Bake the Dough:

• Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown.

4. Assemble the Pizza:

• Remove the pre-baked crust from the oven. Spread the prepared sauce evenly over the crust.
• Sprinkle 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce.

5. Bake the Pizza:

• Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Finish and Serve:

• Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes and dried oregano to taste.
• Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
