Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a pizza stone or an overturned rimmed baking sheet inside.
  2. Melt cream cheese in a medium saucepan over very low heat.
  3. Stir in shredded mozzarella in two parts until melted and smooth.
  4. Incorporate half of the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder into the cheese mixture and stir until absorbed.
  5. Add remaining almond flour and mix until combined.
  6. Remove from heat, press dough together, then mix in beaten eggs.
  7. Knead the dough on a floured parchment paper until smooth, divide in half.
  8. Roll out the first half into a 12-inch round, coaxing edges inward to form a crust.
  9. Pierce dough with a fork to prevent puffing.
Baking
  1. Bake the crust for 6 to 8 minutes until dry and no longer glistening.
  2. Once baked, top with unsweetened tomato sauce and additional cheese or desired toppings.
  3. Return to oven and bake until edges are golden brown and cheese melts, approximately 10 minutes.
Serving
  1. Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, opt for fresh mozzarella for flavor. Pizza stone recommended for crispiness.
