Recipe: Zero Carb Crust Pizza

Ingredients: For the Crust:

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Pinch of salt

For Topping:

1/4 cup sugar-free tomato sauce or pizza sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is fully melted and smooth.

Allow the melted cheese to cool slightly, then add the egg, dried oregano, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until you have a cohesive dough.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll it into a thin circle, creating your pizza crust.
Carefully remove the top layer of parchment paper and transfer the crust (with the bottom parchment paper) onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until it’s golden and crisp at the edges.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Spread a thin layer of sugar-free tomato sauce or pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a border around the edges.

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Add your desired pizza toppings on top of the cheese.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
