Ingredients
- 1 cup cauliflower florets, chopped
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1/8 tsp pink Himalayan salt
-
1/2 tsp Betr Italian seasoning
Topping Suggestions
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce (no added sugar)
- 1/2 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
- 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves, chopped
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
- Pulse cauliflower florets in a food processor until they are finely chopped, making cauliflower “rice”
In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, add the cauliflower “rice” to the pan
Turn the heat off, cover with a lid, and let it sit for 10 minutes
Remove the lid from the pan and place the cauliflower “rice” into a clean dish towel
Wrap the cauliflower in the towel, and squeeze out any leftover water
In a bowl, mix the egg, pink Himalayan salt, and the Betr Italian Seasoning
Add the cauliflower rice to the bowl. Then, mix everything until well combined
Pour the ingredients onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
Using a spoon, spread the mixture into the shape of a small and round pizza (try to make it 1/3 inch thick)
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden
Remove the pizza and top with desired toppings, examples given above
Bake for 6-8 more minutes or until toppings have cooked through
- Let the pizza cool, then enjoy!

This is a little labor intensive but if you’ve got the time, it was delicious. Crust held together well. I might double the recipe next time for a thicker crust.
