Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
- 1 large Egg
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, reduced fat
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 0.5 small Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and thoroughly dry the cauliflower, removing the leaves and cutting it into florets. Use a food processor to pulse the cauliflower into a fine, rice-like texture.
Transfer the cauliflower 'rice' to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 8 minutes or until soft. Allow to cool down slightly, then transfer it to a clean, thin dish towel. Wrap and twist the towel over a bowl or the sink to squeeze out as much water as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower masa, egg, egg white, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until you have a dough-like consistency.
Place the cauliflower dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently press and form it into a round pizza crust, about 1/4-inch thick, ensuring the thickness is even throughout.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until it turns golden brown and firm.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread tomato sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese, then add the bell pepper, mushroom slices, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade low-fat cauliflower crust pizza!
