Instructions:

For the Crust:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave the cream cheese for about 20-30 seconds until softened.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, softened cream cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a round pizza crust shape, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
5. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and transfer the crust, along with the bottom parchment, onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
6. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until it starts to turn golden brown.

For the Toppings:

7. Remove the crust from the oven and spread the sugar-free tomato sauce evenly over it.
8. Over the sauce, scatter the shredded mozzarella cheese.
9. Add your favorite keto-friendly toppings, such as sliced pepperoni, bell peppers, black olives, and mushrooms.
10. If desired, sprinkle dried basil and red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
11. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
