Ingredients:

For the Cauliflower Crust:

  • 1 medium-sized cauliflower head, riced (about 4 cups)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs

For the Pizza Toppings:

  • Sugar-free pizza sauce
  • Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Your favorite keto-friendly toppings (e.g., pepperoni, cooked sausage, sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives)

Instructions:

For the Cauliflower Crust:

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rice Cauliflower:
    • Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.
  3. Steam Cauliflower Rice:
    • Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes or until cooked. Alternatively, you can steam it on the stovetop.
  4. Drain Excess Moisture:
    • Let the cooked cauliflower rice cool, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel. Wrap the towel around the cauliflower and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  5. Mix Crust Ingredients:
    • In a bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
  6. Form Crust:
    • Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper. Spread the cauliflower mixture onto the parchment paper, shaping it into a round pizza crust.
  7. Bake Crust:
    • Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until it becomes golden brown and holds together.

Assemble the Pizza:

  1. Add Toppings:
    • Once the crust is done, remove it from the oven. Spread a thin layer of sugar-free pizza sauce over the crust and add shredded mozzarella cheese and your desired keto-friendly toppings.
  2. Bake Again:
    • Place the pizza back in the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  3. Slice and Serve:
    • Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
