Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Rice the cauliflower by pulsing florets in a food processor until they resemble fine rice. Microwave riced cauliflower for 8 minutes until very soft. This step is critical — let it cool, then wring out ALL moisture using a clean kitchen towel (squeeze and twist until no more water comes out — this is the secret to a crispy crust that doesn't turn into mush).

Mix the completely dry cauliflower with egg, ½ cup mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until it forms a cohesive dough.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Press the cauliflower mixture into a round pizza shape, about 10 inches in diameter and ¼-inch thick. Make the edges slightly thicker for a crust effect. Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes until the crust is golden and firm to the touch.

Add pizza sauce and remaining mozzarella and toppings. Return to the oven for 8–10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing — this allows the crust to set up firmly.
