Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare Cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly, then wrap in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
- Make the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until a dough forms.
- Shape the Crust: Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Flatten it into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Pre-Bake: Bake the crust for 15 minutes or until golden and firm.
- Add Toppings: Remove the crust from the oven. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the crust, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese and arrange your desired toppings.
- Final Bake: Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy!
