Pepperoni Pizza

Pepperoni PizzaThis homemade pizza is gluten free, sugar free, LCHF and pizza without guilt.  This is the best pizza crust ever.
The crust is really easy to make and does not need yeast or sugar and tastes great. It is easy to roll out between two pieces of parchment paper and slide over to your pizza pan. Leaving the parchment paper on the bottom does not stop the crust from browning up nicely.

There is no reason to make any special pizza sauce as you can easily make it from the few ingredients named in the recipe and spread onto your pizza crust. My husband thinks the sauce was specially made from scratch on the stove simmering for hours specially for him…he didn’t even notice the difference, and no complaints about there not being enough sauce on the pizza. Then the toppings go on and bake, incredibly simple and delicious.

My husband is a picky person when it comes to pizza’s and he truly loved this pizza. I made the crust thin and crispy, that is his new favorite or if you like a thick crust then don’t roll it out as much. Any combination of items can go on the pizza, but we really enjoyed this pepperoni pizza.

Instructions
Crust
  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C)
  2. Put mozzarella & cream cheese in a medium size non-stick pan on medium heat.
  3. Stir until they melt together. Add the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, vinegar, egg and salt and mix well, it will form a ball.
  4. Place one sheet of parchment paper on the counter, sprinkle lightly with garlic powder, place the dough on the paper and place a second piece of parchment paper on top. Using your rolling pin, roll the dough to your desired thickness. This is really easy to do and works well. Move the pizza crust onto your pizza pan leaving the bottom parchment paper on and remove the top paper. Don't worry the crust will turn out nice and brown and crispy. Prick the crust with a fork all over to avoid bubbling.
  5. Bake in the oven for 10 -12 minutes until golden brown. Check half way through the cooking time and prick any bubbles that may rise.
  6. Remove from the oven when done and let cool.
Topping
  1. In a bowl mix together the melted butter, tomato sauce, oregano and Italian seasoning.
  2. Spread tomato sauce mixture over your cooked pizza crust.
  3. Place your pepperoni meat on top of tomato sauce, in a circle all around your pizza.
  4. Place the spinach leaves over pizza evenly then the sliced cherry tomatoes.
  5. Next add your 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted
  7. Sprinkle with fresh basil leaves
