Description
A gluten-free and low-carb alternative to traditional pizza crust, crafted from cauliflower for a lighter and nutritious pizza experience.
Ingredients
🥦 1 medium-sized cauliflower head
🧀 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
🥚 1 egg, beaten
🌿 1 teaspoon dried oregano
🧄 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
🧂 Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cauliflower into florets.
Pulse the florets in a food processor until it resembles rice. Microwave the cauliflower rice for 5-6 minutes or until tender. Let it cool, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. In a bowl, combine the cauliflower, shredded mozzarella, beaten egg, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Transfer the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Shape it into a thin, round crust.
Bake the crust for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Add Toppings:
Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings.
Notes
– Thoroughly remove moisture from cauliflower for a crispier crust.
– Customize with herbs, spices, or alternative cheeses for varied flavors.
