- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 150 grams fresh mozzarella ball

- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until you get a rice-like texture.
Step 3
Transfer the riced cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
Step 4
Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess moisture until very dry.
Step 5
In a large bowl, mix the dried cauliflower, egg, 60 grams of shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a 10-inch round crust (about 1/4 inch thick).
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and firm.
Step 8
Slice the fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. Remove the crust from the oven and brush with olive oil.
Step 9
Top the crust with the sliced mozzarella and tomatoes.
Step 10
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 11
