Keto Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipe

For the Toppings:

• 1/4 cup pizza sauce (sugar-free for keto-friendly)

Step-by-Step Instructions for Keto Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice-like grains. (If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a box grater to achieve the same consistency.)

Step 2: Cook the Cauliflower Rice

1. Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 5-6 minutes, or until tender.
2. Let the cauliflower cool, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Removing excess moisture is essential for a crispy crust.

Step 3: Make the Cauliflower Crust Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, egg, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix thoroughly until it forms a dough-like consistency. The mixture should hold together when pressed.

Step 4: Shape and Pre-Bake the Crust

1. Place the cauliflower dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a spatula to shape it into a round pizza crust, about 1/4-inch thick.
2. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and starting to crisp up around the edges.

Step 5: Add Toppings

1. Once the crust is pre-baked, remove it from the oven.
2. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add pepperoni or any other toppings you like.

Step 6: Bake the Pizza

1. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
2. For an extra crispy crust, you can broil the pizza for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

1. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
2. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes, if desired.
3. Slice and enjoy your keto-friendly cauliflower crust pizza!
