Servings: 1 12" pizza

Ingredients

• AD
  1 medium (1lb 6oz/630g) head of cauliflower cut into florets
• 1 large egg
• ¾ cup (2 ¼oz/64g)  shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup (¾ oz/21g) grated parmesan cheese
• 1 large garlic clove crushed
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• ½ cup 5 minute pizza sauce
• ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

• AD
  Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower in 2 batches until it resembles fine rice, roughly 30 seconds.
• Place cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl and cover with cling wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes (Alternatively, you can also steam the cauliflower). Let cauliflower cool for 15 minutes.
• Once cool enough to handle, transfer cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel. Tighly squeeze out any moisture as best you can leaving no water remaining. This will yield you best results.
• Next transfer cauliflower pulp to a large bowl and add in egg, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and form a soft dough.
• Place a large piece of parchment on a baking tray. Place dough in the middle of the prepared pan and push out with your hands to form roughly a 12 inch circle. Top with my 5 minute pizza sauce, cheese and any of your favorite topping. 
• Bake at 425°F (215°C) on the bottom shelf for roughly 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.

  Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes minutes before cutting into 8 slices and serving. This crust doesn't crisp, so you will have to enjoy it using a knife and fork.
