Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower florets
- 2 units Large eggs
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 0.75 cup Additional shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
- 0.5 unit Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until you get a rice-like texture.
Transfer the processed cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 4-5 minutes, or until soft. Allow to cool.
Once cooled, place the cauliflower in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, eggs, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms.
Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and, using your hands, flatten and form it into a round crust shape of about 1/4 inch thickness.
Bake the crust in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over it.
Sprinkle 0.75 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add the pepperoni slices, bell peppers, mushrooms, and olives.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly cauliflower crust pizza!
