Description

A crispy, gluten-free, and low-carb pizza crust made from cauliflower, perfect for a healthier alternative to traditional dough.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 small head of cauliflower (about 14 oz), riced
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for greasing)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce (optional)
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper and brush with olive oil.
  2. Rice the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles fine crumbs.
  3. Microwave riced cauliflower for 3–4 minutes, then let cool and squeeze out moisture using a clean towel.
  4. In a bowl, mix the cauliflower with eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano until combined.
  5. Press the mixture into a thin, even circle on the prepared pan, forming a crust.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and firm.
  7. Optional: Add sauce and cheese, then bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until bubbly.
  8. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cauliflower is well-drained to prevent a soggy crust.
  • Use parchment paper to make removal easier and avoid sticking.
  • Avoid overloading with toppings to maintain crispiness.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in a skillet or oven.
  • You can freeze the baked crust for up to 3 months without toppings.
