Ingredients
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup Cheddar cheese
1 egg
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup sugar-free pizza sauce
20 pepperoni slices
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a large bowl, mix 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, the Cheddar cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- On a parchment-lined 16-inch pizza pan, spread the cheese dough evenly around the pan. The crust should be thin, but without any holes.
- Place the pan in the oven. Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes, or until browned. Check the oven after 10 minutes to make sure it’s not burning.
- Remove the crust from the oven. Turn the oven to broil.
- With paper towels, blot any excess grease from the crust.
- Spread the sauce over the crust. Top with the remaining 1⁄2 cup of mozzarella cheese and the pepperoni.
- Return the pan to the oven. Bake for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Cool the pizza for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
