How to make Cauliflower Crust Pizza dough - Keto

Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower (cut into florets, stems removed)
• 0.25 cup Mozzarella Cheese (shredded, low‑moisture)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
• 1 large Egg (beaten)
• 0.25 tsp Salt (fine sea salt)
• 0.5 tsp Dried Oregano
• 0.5 tsp Dried Basil
• 0.5 tsp Garlic Powder
• 0.25 cup Barbecue Pizza Sauce (store‑bought or homemade)
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella Cheese (topping) (shredded)

Instructions

1. Process the Cauliflower

   Trim the cauliflower, remove as many stems as possible, and break it into florets. Pulse in a food processor for about 2 minutes until it reaches a fine, powdery consistency.

   Time: PT5M

2. Microwave the Cauliflower

   Transfer the processed cauliflower to a microwave‑safe bowl, cover, and microwave on high for 4 minutes.

   Time: PT4M

3. Remove Excess Moisture

   Let the bowl cool for 2 minutes, then place the cauliflower onto a clean kitchen towel. Fold the towel over and squeeze firmly to extract as much liquid as possible.

   Time: PT5M

4. Combine Crust Ingredients

   In a dry mixing bowl, combine the dried cauliflower, 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, the beaten egg, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp dried basil, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Mix with clean hands until a uniform dough forms.

   Time: PT5M

5. Shape the Crust

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper. Transfer the dough onto the paper and press it into a round, 1/4‑inch thick pizza base.

   Time: PT5M

6. First Bake (Pre‑bake)

   Preheat the oven to the highest setting (200 °C / 400‑450 °F). Bake the crust for about 8 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: 200°C

7. Add Toppings and Finish Baking

   Remove the crust, spread 1/4 cup barbecue pizza sauce over it, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, and return to the oven for another 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: 200°C

8. Cool and Serve

   Allow the pizza to rest for 2 minutes to let the crust firm up, then slice and serve.

   Time: PT2M
