Serves:
This cauliflower pizza recipe yields one 10-inch pizza crust, serving 2-3 people.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head
cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1/2 cup shredded
mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated
Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried
oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic
powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black
pepper
- 1 large egg
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cauliflower:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a
baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble fine crumbs, similar to rice.
2. Cook the Cauliflower:
- Transfer the cauliflower crumbs to a microwave-safe
bowl and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until tender. Alternatively, you
can steam the cauliflower on the stovetop.
- Once cooked, allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel. Wrap the towel around the cauliflower and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
3. Make the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
4. Shape the Crust:
- Transfer the cauliflower dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to press the dough into a circle, about 1/4-inch thick, forming the pizza crust.
5. Bake the Crust:
- Bake the cauliflower pizza crust in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
6. Add Toppings and Bake Again:
- Once the crust is baked, remove it from
the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Note:
For a crispier crust, you can pre-bake the crust for a few minutes before adding toppings.
