Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 head (about 1¼ pounds) cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets
- 4 ounces (about 1 cup) grated Parmesan
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
- 1. Preheat pizza oven to 500°F. Brush the deep dish pan with the
- oil and set aside.
- 2. Insert the chopping blade into the work bowl of a food
- processor. Add the cauliflower and pulse 5 to 6 times to break
- up, and then process on High until finely chopped. Transfer to
- a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the cauliflower until tender,
- about 5 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- 3. Once cool, transfer cauliflower to a large bowl lined with
- cheesecloth. Using the cheesecloth, squeeze the cauliflower to
- remove as much liquid as possible. (Take your time with this
- step—it will help ensure a crisper crust.)
- 4. In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower, Parmesan,
- almond flour, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt,
- and pepper.
- 5. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the oiled deep dish pan.
- Press evenly along the bottom of the pan.
- 6. Bake until golden-brown and slightly firm, about 18 minutes.
- Cool slightly.
- 7. This crust can now be used as a traditional pizza crust. Top
- with your favorite pizza toppings and return to the oven to
- finish cooking.
