Ingredients

1 large head cauliflower
2 large eggs
¼ cup grated parmesan 25 g
¼ cup grated mozzarella 25 g
½ tsp salt
½ tsp oregano
¼ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Rice Cauliflower: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grate cauliflower into rice consistency using either your food processor or a box grater.
Bake Cauliflower: Spread cauliflower onto a parchment-lined baking sheet into as flat of a layer as possible. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower begins to brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Increase oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
Dry Cauliflower: Spoon cauliflower into a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Make Dough: In a large bowl, stir to combine cauliflower and all remaining ingredients.
Shape Dough: Into a pizza round on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, or until firm.
Make Pizza: Carefully flip the pizza crust*. Top the pizza crust with your favorite sauces and toppings, then return it to the oven until it is all melty and delicious, about 7 minutes.

Notes

*A trick to make flipping the crust easier: Set another parchment paper on top of the dough and a large plate on top of that (if this were a sandwich, the baking sheet and plate would be the bread, and the pizza crust would be filling!). Flip the “sandwich” all at once then simply slide the pizza crust onto the baking sheet.

Can you grill the pizza? You should be able to grill it after pre-baking the crust. Just make sure the grill grates are well-greased. And if you're nervous, just use a grill-safe cast iron.

Storage: Leftover pizza will last 3-4 days in the fridge in an air tight container.

How to freeze the crust: I prefer to freeze the crust after baking. Simply wrap it in foil and freeze. Then bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees prior to adding toppings. Add the toppings and then bake another 5 minutes.

Homemade frozen pizza: You can also freeze the pizza with the toppings on it to make your own homemade frozen pizza. Just wrap the cooled pizza in foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
