Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower florets
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded (for topping)
- 1 cup Toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they become fine rice-sized pieces.
Transfer the processed cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes until soft.
Allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure a firm crust.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, eggs, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until a dough forms.
Spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round pizza crust approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the cauliflower crust for 20 minutes or until it turns a golden brown and becomes firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly. Spread the tomato sauce over the crust, then sprinkle with 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
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 allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
