Ingredients:
‍
For the Gluten-Free Pizza Crust:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Pizza Toppings:
- 1 cup low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1/4 cup sliced turkey pepperoni
- 1/4 cup sliced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce (choose a low-calorie, sugar-free option)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
‍
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
‍
2. Prepare the Pizza Crust:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add the eggs, almond milk, and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more almond flour until it reaches a workable consistency.
Place the dough ball on the prepared baking sheet and use your hands to press it into a thin, even circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
‍
3. Add the Toppings:
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the cooked chicken breast, turkey pepperoni, sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, black olives, and diced onions.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and garlic powder over the toppings for extra flavor.
‍
4. Bake the Pizza:
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
‍
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before serving.
