Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower (fresh, riced)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Shredded cheese (mozzarella or Parmesan)
- 0.25 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (optional for brushing)
- 0 Toppings (optional, for pizza or focaccia)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
If using a whole cauliflower, cut it into florets and pulse in a food processor until you achieve a rice-like texture. You’ll need about 4 cups of riced cauliflower.
Step 3
Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4–5 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 4
Once cooled, transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial for achieving a sturdy crust.
Step 5
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, eggs, shredded cheese, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking sheet. Press it down into a flat circle or rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick, depending on your desired shape and use (pizza or focaccia).
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust looks firm.
Step 8
If making focaccia, brush with olive oil and add optional toppings like rosemary and sea salt, then bake for an additional 5 minutes. If making pizza, add your desired toppings and bake until the cheese is bubbly and melted (about 5–7 extra minutes).
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
