For the Pizza

  4. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a border for the crust.
  5. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
  6. Add your chosen toppings.
  7. Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle with Italian herbs if desired.

Notes

For meal prep, make pizza dough in advance and freeze. Use cauliflower crust as a low-carb option. Store leftovers wrapped in foil in the fridge.
