Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we start, let’s gather all the ingredients. This recipe is split into two main sections: the dough and the toppings.

For the Dough:

8 oz shredded mozzarella: This is the base of our low-carb dough.

2 oz cream cheese: Adds a creamy texture to the dough.

1 egg (preferably at room temperature): Helps bind the ingredients together.

⅓ cup almond flour: A low-carb alternative to regular flour.

⅓ cup coconut flour: Another low-carb flour that adds a unique flavor and texture.

⅓ cup ground golden flaxseed: Provides fiber and helps with the dough’s consistency.

For the Toppings:

2 oz cream cheese (softened): Used for the creamy garlic sauce.

1 teaspoon dried minced garlic: Adds a robust garlic flavor.

½ small onion (sliced): Adds a sweet and savory taste when sautéed.

1 big handful of baby spinach: Provides a fresh and healthy topping.

4 oz of your favorite shredded cheeses: Use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar, or Parmesan for a rich flavor.

How to Make:

Preheat Your Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures it’s hot and ready when your pizza is assembled.

Prepare the Dough

Melt the Cheeses: Place the shredded mozzarella and 2 oz of cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for one minute, then stir. Microwave for an additional 30 seconds and stir again. Continue this process until all the cheese is melted and smooth, resembling cheese fondue.

Mix the Dough Ingredients: Add the egg, almond flour, coconut flour, and ground golden flaxseed to the melted cheese. Mix thoroughly. You may find it easier to knead the dough on wax paper or use a food processor with a dough blade to ensure everything is well incorporated.

Form the Pizza Crust: Wet your hands or a rolling pin to prevent sticking and press or roll the dough into a large circle on a pizza stone. Aim for an even thickness throughout to ensure it bakes evenly.

Bake the Crust: Place the pizza stone on the bottom rack of your preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown.

Prepare the Toppings

Sauté the Onions and Spinach: While the crust is baking, heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until softened and golden brown. Add the spinach, cover the pan, and cook until the spinach wilts. Set aside.

Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the dried minced garlic. This will be the base sauce for your pizza.

Assemble and Bake

Spread the Sauce: Once the crust is golden, remove it from the oven. Spread the creamy garlic sauce evenly over the crust.

Add the Toppings: Layer the sautéed onion and wilted spinach over the sauce. Finally, sprinkle the shredded cheeses on top.

Final Bake: Place the assembled pizza back in the oven, this time on the top rack, and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy

Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the toppings set and makes it easier to cut. Serve hot and enjoy a delicious low-carb meal that’s perfect for any time of day.
