  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 1 12-inch pizza crust 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large cauliflower head (about 2 lbs), roughly chopped into florets
  • ½ teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup finely ground, blanched almond flour
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Steam or boil cauliflower florets until very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  3. Drain thoroughly and let cool slightly.
  4. Transfer cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until finely crumbled.
  5. Place cauliflower rice in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  6. In a large bowl, mix squeezed cauliflower, egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  7. Stir well until a dough-like consistency forms. Add olive oil for extra moisture, if desired.
  8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  9. Press cauliflower mixture into a 12-inch round crust, about ¼ inch thick.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
  11. Remove from oven, add desired pizza toppings, and return to bake for another 10-15 minutes until toppings are cooked and cheese is bubbly.
  12. Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure the cauliflower is squeezed very dry. Try adding red pepper flakes for spice or Italian seasoning for a more robust flavor.
