Ingredients
- 1 medium cauliflower head, grated (about 2-3 cups)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- Toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, etc.)
- Additional mozzarella cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or food processor until it resembles rice. Steam the grated cauliflower for about 5-7 minutes until tender, then let it cool.
- Make the Crust: In a large bowl, combine the steamed cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the Crust: Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to spread it into a round pizza shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Make sure the edges are slightly thicker for a better crust.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven. Spread pizza sauce on top and add your favorite toppings along with additional mozzarella cheese.
- Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes before slicing. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free pizza!
