How to Make It
1. Step
Preheat oven to 500˚F (260˚C).
2. Step
Remove the leaves and stem of the cauliflower.
3. Step
Transfer pieces to a food processor and rice the cauliflower by pulsing it in the food processor, or by shredding it on a box grater.
4. Step
Once riced, transfer to a large bowl and microwave for 4 minutes. Let it cool down for a few minutes before handling!
5. Step
Transfer cooked cauliflower to a clean towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.
6. Step
Place wrung cauliflower in a bowl and combine with mozzarella, oregano, basil, salt, garlic powder, and an egg. Mix well.
7. Step
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
8. Step
Place cauliflower mixture in the middle. Spread out the mixture and form a circle out of the cauliflower mixture, pushing along the edge to raise a “crust.”
9. Step
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust has become golden brown in the center and on the edges.
10. Step
Top with your favorite pizza sauce and toppings, being careful not to overload the pizza.
11. Step
Bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has fully melted.
