Low Carb Pizza with a CRISPY Cauliflower Crust
categories: low-carb, Italian
yield: 1

h - for the Crust
1 md hd raw cauliflower (5-6" in diameter)
- grated in a box grater (2-3 c)
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese (medium pack)
2 Tb finely grated parmesan or romano cheese
1 lg egg
1/2 ts salt
1 Tb dried Italian seasoning
h - for the Pizza Toppings
1/2 c low carb pizza sauce
1 c shredded mozzarella, divided
vegetables of your choice
onions, mushrooms, peppers - PRE-COOKED if possible
1/4 c parmesan cheese
dried Italian seasoning for dusting the top
h - for carnivores - pizza meat of your choice
pepperoni, cooked ground sausage

1. Preheat your oven to 425F.

Grate the head of cauliflower with a box grater or
food processor with grating blade, put in microwave
safe bowl and microwave for 8 min, or roast in the
oven in a foil covered bowl until done. Let the
cauliflower cool until just barely warm, then dump
it in a flat cotton napkin or kitchen towel. Pick
up the corners of the towel and squeeze as much
water out of it that you can. You'll have to do
this over the sink, and more water will come out
of it than you think! Twist it in the napkin/towel
to get even more water out.

Dump the squeezed cauliflower in a bowl and add
the egg, 1 c mozzarella cheese, 1/2 ts salt, 2 Tb
grated parmesan, and 1 Tb Italian seasoning. Mix
thoroughly.

Line your first baking sheet with a silpat liner
(or greased parchment paper) and dump the bowl of
cauliflower/cheese mix onto it. Pat the mixture
into a crust that's fairly thin but with no holes.
Blot the top of the raw cauliflower crust with
paper towels, then cook the crust 15 min at 425F.

Take the crust out of the oven and let cool a bit.
Blot the top with paper towels (be careful not to
burn yourself). The top of the crust should be
browned, if it isn't, turn your oven to broil and
broil it for about 4 min. The browned top of the
crust will become the bottom of your pizza.

Blot again with paper towels if necessary. Now
you will need to flip the pizza crust onto the
other baking sheet with silpat liner. After
flipping, blot the steaming crust and put back
under the broiler for 5-10 min, watch closely
until it browns without the edges burning.
You now have a completed cauliflower crust!

Add the sauce, then mozzarella, then meat/veg,
then a bit more mozzarella, then parmesan, and
top with a sprinkling of dried Italian herbs.

Broil for 5 min until the cheese is browned. Let
the pizza cool for at least 10 min on a rack
 (you should be able to easily slide it now)
 before cutting it with a pizza cutter.
