Description
A basic recipe for making a low-carb pizza crust using cauliflower.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups riced cauliflower, squeezed dry
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the dried riced cauliflower in a medium bowl.
- Add the beaten egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper to the cauliflower. Mix until well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Press the mixture firmly into a 10-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake the crust for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is firm.
- Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Squeezing the moisture out of the riced cauliflower is the most important step for a crisp crust. Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Do not overload the crust with wet toppings to prevent sogginess.
