Low Carb Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower (about 4 cups grated)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into florets and grate it using a food processor or box grater until it resembles rice. Place the grated cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes until softened. Let it cool slightly.
- Remove Moisture: Once the cauliflower is cool enough to handle, transfer it to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for a crisp crust.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Shape the Crust: Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press it into a flat, even circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Add Toppings and Bake Again: Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
