Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower florets
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, brushing it lightly with olive oil.
Wash and cut the cauliflower into florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until finely ground, resembling rice grains. You should have about 4 cups of cauliflower rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes to soften. Allow it to cool slightly.
Once cool enough to handle, place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture. You want to remove as much water as possible for a crispy crust.
In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, eggs, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a dough forms.
Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a circle about ¼ inch thick and ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired gluten-free sauces and toppings.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
