Ingredients

• Cauliflower: 1 large head 2 lbs or 900 grams
• Mozzarella cheese: 2 cups shredded 8 oz or 225 grams
• Parmesan cheese: 1/4 cup grated 1 oz or 28 grams
• Dried oregano: 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
• Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
• Egg: 1 large
• This recipe makes one 12-inch pizza crust.

Instructions

• We’re all set! Let’s turn that fresh produce into a drool-worthy Low-Carb Cauliflower Pizza Crust:
• Set your oven’s temp to a cozy 425°F (220°C) and give it a bit of alone time to heat up.
• Grab your trusty cauliflower, give it a quick rinse and chop into manageable chunks. Feed it into your food processor for a whirl till it starts to look something like rice – small, grainy, but not too fine.
• Now we’re going to give that riced cauliflower a little steam treatment. Just for about 5 minutes, enough to make it tender. Drain it well, and here’s the crucial part – squeeze out as much water as you possibly can using a clean kitchen towel.
• Time for a get-together in a big bowl! Invite in the squeezed cauliflower, the shredded mozzarella, parmesan, the aromatic oregano, the pungent garlic powder, the trusty salt, and the binding egg. Mix it till it becomes a big happy family.
• Time to shape up. Transfer the well-mixed mixture onto your waiting pizza stone or baking sheet that’s been neatly dressed in parchment paper. Pat it gently into a round shape, and make sure the layer is even.
• Now, allow your soon-to-be pizza crust to bask in the oven’s heat for about 20 minutes, or till it turns a beautiful golden brown.
• Voila! Your Low-Carb Cauliflower Pizza Crust is ready for your favorite toppings.
