Ingredients
Crust:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 3 tbsp unflavored whey protein powder
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup butter melted
Filling:
- 12 oz Jones Dairy Farm Sausage Roll
- 3/4 lb mozzarella thinly sliced (not shredded)
- 1 1/2 cups marinara or pizza sauce no sugar added – try my 15-Minute Tomato Sauce if you want to make your own
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 ounces sliced pepperoni or additional sausage optional
- 3/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Crust:
- Preheat oven to 325F and lightly grease a 12 inch oven-proof skillet (preferably cast iron but regular skillets will work well too).
- In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, whey protein, coconut flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt and xanthan gum.
- Stir in eggs and butter until dough comes together. It will be quite sticky.
- Turn out dough onto a large piece of parchment, and then pat into a rough circle.
- Top with another piece of parchment and roll out to a large circle about 14 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thickness. Peel off top piece of parchment paper.
- Carefully flip crust with bottom parchment still attached into prepared skillet. Gently peel parchment off (don’t worry if it cracks or breaks a little, it’s easy to patch back together).
- Press crust into pan evenly and push down the edges of crust to below the edges of the skillet. Crimp edges of crust a bit.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and set aside while preparing the filling.
Filling:
- Increase oven temperature to 400F.
- In another large skillet over medium heat, brown sausage until cooked through, breaking up clumps with the back of a wooden spoon.
- Lay half of the mozzarella slices over the bottom of the crust, making sure to cover it well. Top with cooked sausage.
- Spread sauce over sausage, sprinkle with garlic and oregano and layer remaining mozzarella slices over sauce. Top with additional cooked sausage or sliced pepperoni, if desired. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
- Cover the edges of the crust with strips of tin foil and bake pizza 30 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and browned.
- Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
