ingredients
- 4-5 cups riced cauliflower
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- basil leaves, chopped (optional)
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 °F and line a baking stone or baking sheet with lightly greased parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut cauliflower into large florets and pulse gently in a food processor using an S blade. Do not over-process, you want larger than rice pieces of cauliflower not mushy! Alternatively, you can also use frozen already riced cauliflower, just make sure to defrost it first and wring out any excess liquid.
Step 3
Add cauliflower to a large bowl along with the almond flour, cheese, sea salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well, then add whisked eggs and stir well making sure to coat all ingredients with the eggs.
Step 4
Place “dough” on greased parchment-lined sheet or stone and spread out into a large pizza shape. This recipe can make one large pizza or two small ones. Cut parchment paper to fit any round-shaped pizza stone or pan if using one.
Step 5
Place in oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the crust starts to brown.
Step 6
After 25 minutes, remove the crust from the oven.
Step 7
Add tomato sauce and sprinkle the cheese on top of that.
Step 8
Lower heat to 375°F and place the pizza back in the oven and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until you see the edges of the crust begin to brown and the cheese is golden colored. If you like your cheese browned you can turn up the heat to broil for the last minute of cooking.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow the pizza to cool a bit before serving. Add fresh basil leaves on top if desired.
