Preparation Method

1. Preheat Your Oven
Set oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.

2. Melt the Cheeses
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth.

3. Mix the Dough
Add almond flour, egg, garlic powder, oregano, and salt to the cheese mixture. Mix well until a sticky dough forms. You can use a spatula or your hands (greased or slightly wet) to help bring it together.

4. Shape the Crust
Transfer the dough onto the parchment paper. Use your hands or a rolling pin to press it into a round, even pizza base about ¼ inch thick.

5. Pre-Bake the Crust
Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before adding toppings.

6. Add Toppings & Bake Again
Top with sugar-free tomato sauce, cheese, and your favorite non-haram toppings (e.g., bell peppers, mushrooms, beef, olives). Return to the oven for 5–7 more minutes until cheese melts and bubbles.

7. Slice & Serve
Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes before slicing. Enjoy that first cheesy, low-carb bite!
