Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut the cauliflower into florets and blend them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.

Spread the cauliflower dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming a 1/4 inch thick circle.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.

Step 8

Remove the crust from the oven and brush it with olive oil.

Step 9

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the crust, then sprinkle with oregano.

Step 10

Top the pizza with the remaining mozzarella cheese, artichoke hearts, prosciutto, olives, and mushrooms.

Step 11

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and sprinkle with pepper.
