Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the cauliflower
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it looks like rice. If you don’t have a processor, a box grater works just fine.
Step 2: Cook the cauliflower
- Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and cook for 5–6 minutes until soft. Let it cool completely.
Step 3: Remove excess moisture
- Transfer the cooled cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for a firm crust.
Step 4: Mix the dough
- In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
Step 5: Shape the crust
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the mixture into a round pizza shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 6: Bake the crust
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes until golden and firm.
Step 7: Add toppings
- Remove from the oven, add sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings.
Step 8: Final bake
- Return to the oven and bake for another 8–10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
