Ingredients

• 1 medium Cauliflower head
• 1 large Egg
• 30 grams Almond flour
• 5 grams Garlic powder
• 2 grams Dried oregano
• 2 grams Salt
• 120 milliliters Paleo marinara sauce
• 60 grams Paleo pepperoni
• 100 grams Ground Italian sausage (Paleo-approved)
• 1 small Red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 small Onion, sliced
• 15 milliliters Olive oil
• 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Detach the florets from the cauliflower head and pulse them in a food processor until they form coarse crumbs resembling rice.

Step 3

Steam the cauliflower 'rice' for about 4-5 minutes until tender, then drain and let cool slightly. Once cooled, place in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Mix well to form a dough.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a flat, round crust about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick.

Step 6

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until golden and firm.

Step 7

While the crust is baking, cook the ground sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Step 8

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the marinara sauce evenly over the top, leaving a small border around the edge.

Step 9

Layer the cooked sausage, pepperoni, bell pepper slices, and onion slices evenly over the sauced crust.

Step 10

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the toppings are heated through and the crust is crisp.

Step 11

Drizzle olive oil over the baked pizza and scatter fresh basil leaves on top before slicing and serving.
