Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese for topping
• 0 for garnish Fresh basil
• 0 as needed Preferred toppings (e.g., sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head. Chop it into smaller florets and then pulse them in a food processor until you obtain a fine rice-like texture.

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower 'rice' to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 4-5 minutes or until soft. Allow to cool slightly.

Step 4

Once cooled, place the cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieving a crispy crust.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the dried cauliflower, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.

Step 6

Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into your desired pizza crust shape (round or rectangular), ensuring it is about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 7

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden and crispy around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the sauce and add any additional toppings you prefer.

Step 9

Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
