Pizza on the keto diet? No way, right?
Not anymore! This keto pizza is low in carbs, high in protein and fat and first and foremost: delicious!
In a large bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella cheese and the cream cheese.
You can either use a microwave or a double boiler to do this.
If you use a microwave: Microwave the bowl with the mozzarella and cream cheese for approx. 1-2 minutes. (the time may vary heavily depending on the microwave and what settings you're using - start with a shorter amount of time and pop it back in if it hasn't melted yet. Don't overcook it!)
If you use a double boiler: Stir the mozzarella cheese while it's melting. It takes a while for the mozzarella cheese to melt completely, approx. 5-10 minutes.
Add the flour, egg, and seasoning to the melted mozzarella cheese and knead the dough with your hands until you get a smooth mass.
Place the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and start to press it into its form.
Form the dough until you get a circular shape that's approx. 1/3" in diameter.
Bake the dough without the topping for approx. 7-10 minutes at 350°F/180°C.
Take the pizza dough out of the oven and add the tomato sauce and other toppings of your choice.
Add extra shredded mozzarella cheese on top of everything and pop the pizza back into the oven for another 10 minutes.
Enjoy the pizza with a cold glass of diet soda.
