Ingredients

  • 1/2 head cauliflower (about 2 cups riced)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano

Method

  • Pre-heat oven to 400° F.
  • Prep a cookie sheet or pizza stone. You can grease the cookie sheet or use parchment paper. (I used a Pampered Chef baking stone, which doesn't require any prep if it's seasoned.)
  • Remove the stems and leaves from your cauliflower and chop the florets into chunks. Add to a food processor (I used my Vitamix) and pulse just until the texture is similar to rice. If you don't have a food processor or Vitamix, you can grate the cauliflower with a cheese grater or chop it.
  • Saute cauliflower "rice" in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook until translucent, approximately 6-8 minutes. (You can use the microwave for this as well. Just place cauliflower in an uncovered microwave-safe bowl and cook for 8 minutes.)
  • In a bowl combine the cooked cauliflower with all remaining ingredients.
  • Spread dough out evenly over parchment paper (or stone) - about 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch thick. The pizza should be about 9-10 inches in diameter.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden, crispy on the edges and cooked through the middle.
  • Remove the crust from the oven.
  • Top with pizza sauce and toppings. Be careful not to add too many heavy toppings as you don't want to weigh down the crust.
  • Broil the pizza for 5 minutes, or until the toppings are hot and the cheese is melted. Allow the pizza to cool for 2-3 minutes then cut and serve immediately.
  • You can top the pizza with whatever you like, just make sure the toppings are already cooked since you'll only be broiling the pizza for a few minutes. I spread on a layer of my basil lima bean hummus, my favorite h
