1 tsp Italian seasoning or dried oregano/basil

1/8 tsp salt

1/4 tsp ground black pepper

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

Cooking spray or a little cooking oil

Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
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.
Cook “rice”: Transfer cauliflower rice to prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 mins. Remove cooked cauliflower rice from the oven, transfer to a large bowl lined with a a clean kitchen towel, and let cool for 10-15 minutes or until safe to touch.
Squeeze: Wrap cooked cauliflower inside the clean towel, then squeeze the liquid out. Be patient and do this a few times until barely any liquid comes out. Muscle work is required!
Make dough: Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F. In a mixing bowl whisk the egg with dried herbs, salt and pepper for 10 seconds. Add cheese and cauliflower; mix very well until combined.
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 or coat with a little cooking oil. Transfer cauliflower pizza dough in the middle and flatten with your hands until thin pizza crust forms.
Bake crust first: Bake for 20 minutes, carefully flip with spatula and bake for a few more minutes.
Bake pizza with toppings: Top cauliflower pizza base with your favourite toppings and bake again until cheese on top turns golden brown.
Enjoy!

Store: Refrigerate leftovers covered for up to 2 days.

Freeze: Bake, cool and wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before baking with toppings.
