Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower becomes a rice-like texture. You may need to process in batches if your food processor is small.
Transfer the processed cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes until it's tender. Alternatively, you can steam it until tender.
Allow the cooked cauliflower to cool a bit, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for a crispy crust.
In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, almond flour, salt, black pepper, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until it forms a dough-like consistency.
Place the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press and shape it into a pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick. Make sure the edges are even.
Place the crust into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until it's golden brown and firm to the touch.
While the crust is baking, prepare your toppings. Slice the mushrooms and set aside.
Remove the baked crust from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Arrange the pepperoni slices and mushroom slices evenly on top.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the fresh basil on top.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes. Slice it up and enjoy your cauliflower crust pizza!
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly squeeze out the moisture from the cauliflower after cooking to ensure a crispy crust.
- Preheat your oven before baking for a perfectly crispy crust.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the crust from sticking to the baking sheet.
- Feel free to experiment with different toppings to make the pizza your own, such as bell peppers, olives, or spinach.
- If you prefer, you can use a food processor to finely chop the cauliflower, making the preparation even quicker.
And there you have it—a delicious and healthy cauliflower crust pizza that's easy to make at home. With its crispy base and flavorful toppings, it's a meal that will satisfy your pizza cravings while keeping things nutritious. Enjoy your homemade creation with family and friends!
