Ingredients
Topping:
- 225g fresh Italian sausage
- 1 tbsp butter
- 125ml unsweetened tomato sauce
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 125g mozzarella cheese, shredded
Crust:
- 175g mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tbsp. cream cheese
- 175ml (100g) almond flour
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp salt Olive oil to grease your hands
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 C.
- Heat mozzarella and cream cheese in a non-stick pan on medium heat or in a bowl in the microwave. Stir until they melt together. Add the other ingredients and mix well. Tip: use a hand mixer with dough hooks.
- Moisten your hands with olive oil and flatten the dough on parchment paper, making a circle about 20cm in diameter. You can also use a rolling pin to flatten the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Remove top parchment sheet (if used). Prick the crust with a fork (all over) and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven.
- While the crust is baking, sauté the ground sausage meat in olive oil or butter.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on the crust. Top the pizza with meat and plenty of cheese. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until cheese has melted.
- Sprinkle with oregano and enjoy!
Customize
Feel free to use whatever toppings you like! You could use pepperoni, pork, chicken, or beef leftovers. You can also make a veggie delight using peppers, olives, artichokes, or fresh tomatoes and herbs.
