Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large cauliflower
1/2 cup flour
2 eggs
2 garlic cloves, diced
1 tablespoon dry oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
4 ounces light mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup pizza sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • In a food processor, process cauliflower until finely chopped.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, cook cauliflower for five minutes or until tender. Using a juicer, squeeze out the moisture from the cauliflower a little bit at a time. Alternately, place cauliflower in a towel, and squeeze out excess water so it is completely dry.
  • In a bowl, mix cauliflower, salt, baking powder, oregano, eggs, and garlic, until well-combined.
  • NOTE: everyone but me seems to be able to use parchment paper without it sticking. In my experience, no matter what I do, it sticks like glue. Using a Silpat sheet works perfectly.
  • On a Silpat (or parchment-lined baking sheet), spread cauliflower dough out until it resembles a pizza (round or square). Make sure the crust is at least ½" thick. Pinch the edges up to contain sauce to be added later. Bake for 40 minutes.
  • Top however you want and bake in a 450°F oven for 7 minutes or until cheese and toppings have baked.
