Description

A healthy and delicious alternative to traditional pizza dough made from cauliflower, perfect for low-carb and gluten-free diets.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower (about 4 cups riced)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg
  • Olive oil spray (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease with olive oil spray.
  2. Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
  3. Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes, until softened. Let it cool slightly.
  4. Transfer the cooked cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  5. In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower, Parmesan, mozzarella, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and egg until fully combined.
  6. Press the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into a circular pizza crust shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and firm.
  8. Remove from oven, add your favorite toppings, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes if desired.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Be sure to squeeze out as much water from the cauliflower as possible for a crispier crust.
  • You can add herbs or spices to the crust mixture for extra flavor.
  • This crust can be made ahead and frozen for later use.
