Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Cauliflower

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

2

Make the Cauliflower Crust

Once cooled, place the steamed cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

3

Form the Pizza Crust

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the parchment and shape it into a 12-inch round pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick.

4

Bake the Crust

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until it is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

5

Add Toppings and Final Bake

Add your favorite pizza toppings and cheese on top of the crust. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6

Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy your traditional cauliflower pizza!
