Cauliflower Crust Pizza Directions:
- Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower Crust
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble fine rice-like grains.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 5-6 minutes, or until it’s cooked and soft.
Let the cauliflower rice cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, grated mozzarella, grated Parmesan, egg, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until it forms a dough-like consistency. - Step 2: Bake the Cauliflower Crust
Place the cauliflower crust dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to press it into a thin, even crust shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it becomes golden and holds together. - Step 3: Add Toppings and Bake Again
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly. You can increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
Spread a thin layer of low-carb pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
Add your chosen keto-friendly pizza toppings. - Step 4: Final Bake
Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust edges are crisp and golden.
Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy your keto cauliflower crust pizza!
