Ingredients

• 4 cups Cauliflower florets
• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded (for the crust)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.75 cup Low carb pizza sauce
• 20 pieces Pepperoni slices
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded (for topping)
• 1 cup Grated cheese blend (blend of cheddar and mozzarella)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by greasing it with olive oil.

Step 2

Steam the cauliflower florets until tender. Once cooked, squeeze out as much water as possible using a cheesecloth or a kitchen towel.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the cauliflower crust mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it evenly to form a thick crust layer.

Step 5

Brush the top of the crust with olive oil and bake it in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is set.

Step 6

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the low carb pizza sauce evenly over the top.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crust with the shredded mozzarella cheese and the grated cheese blend.

Step 8

Evenly distribute the pepperoni slices across the pizza.

Step 9

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low-carb Detroit-style pizza!
