Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
• Prepare the cauliflower florets by removing them from the stem. You can also use frozen and thawed cauliflower. Grate the cauliflower using a food processor or a box grater to make cauliflower rice.
• Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 4 to 5 minutes to soften.
• Alternatively, sauté the cauliflower rice in a pan over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Allow it to cool to the touch.
• Transfer the cauliflower rice to a thin kitchen towel. Squeeze out all the excess moisture as thoroughly as possible.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, cheese, beaten egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix well and form the pizza dough.
• Press the dough onto the lined baking sheet, shaping it into an even circle with a diameter of approximately 9 in (23 cm).
• Bake the pizza crust for 25 minutes or until slightly golden. For an even crispier crust, consider baking for 20 minutes, flipping the crust, and then baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes on the second side.
• Remove the crust from the oven. Top with the marinara sauce, sliced mozzarella, basil leaves, red pepper flakes, and any additional toppings. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then remove from the oven, slice, and serve.
