  • 1 large egg

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning or dried oregano/basilCauliflower | Produce Market GuideCauliflower | Produce Market Guide

  • 1/8 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese, grated/shredded

  • Cooking spray (I use Misto)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper or silicone mat.

  2. Make “rice”: Rinse cauliflower, remove the outer leaves, separate into florets and chop into smaller pieces. Process in a food processor in 2 batches, until “rice” texture forms (skip if using store-bought “rice”).

  3. Cook “rice”: Transfer cauliflower rice on a prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 mins. Remove cooked cauliflower rice from the oven, transfer to a large bowl lined with a double/triple layered cheesecloth or linen towel, and let cool for 10-15 minutes or until safe to touch.

  4. Squeeze: Then squeeze the liquid out of the ball (cauliflower inside the cheesecloth) as hard as you can. Be patient and do this a few times until barely any liquid comes out. Muscle work.:)

  5. Make dough: Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl whisk the egg with dried herbs, salt and pepper for 10 seconds. Add cheese and squeezed cauliflower; mix very well with spatula until combined.

  6. Form crust: Line same baking sheet with new parchment paper or silicone mat (just make sure to scrape off any bits of cauliflower) and spray with cooking spray. Transfer cauliflower pizza dough in the middle and flatten with your hands until thin pizza crust forms. Make it thicker than in my video, I made it a bit too thin.

  7. Bake crust first: Bake for 20 minutes, carefully flip with spatula and bake for a few more minutes.

  8. Bake pizza with toppings: Top cauliflower pizza base with your favourite toppings and bake again until cheese on top turns golden brown.

  9. Enjoy! Cut into 8 slices with a pizza cutter and finally enjoy!

Store: Refrigerate leftovers covered for up to 2 days.

Freeze: Bake, cool and wrap in plastic wrap. Or place in a resealable extra large Ziploc bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before baking with toppings.
