Ingredients

For the Crust
  • 7 ½ cups of riced cauliflower
  • 1 cup organic shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 organic cage-free egg
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons  oat fiber see notes
Toppings that I added
  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
  • 18 sliced uncured pepperoni
  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ¼ teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon  parsley
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil
  • 2 ounces tomato paste mixed with water to thin it out

Instructions

To Make the Crust
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the cauliflower to a microwave safe bowl and cook in the microwave, covered with a paper towel,  for 10 minutes.  Remove, transfer to a plate and set in the fridge to cool for about 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 425F.
  3. Once cooled, add the cauliflower to a lint free towel in small batches and wring to get as much as the water out as you can.  You will be amazed at how much liquid comes out and we don't want this in our crust!!  Then add to a bowl and add in the almond flour, oat fiber, garlic salt, mozzarella and egg.
  4. Mix until well combined.  Add the dough to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and spread out to your desired shape and thickness.  Bake for 15 minutes or until the top just barely starts to turn lightly golden.
To Make the Pizza
  1. Add your sauce, spices, cheese and any other toppings you prefer.  I would recommend staying away from anything that is too watery.  This will allow the crust to hold together better and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  2. Bake for another 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and is slightly golden.  Transfer the pizza (on the parchment paper) to a cooling rack and, allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing, then serve!  This also prevents the crust from getting soggy from the steam.

Notes

  • *Macros are for the crust only.  Be sure to adjust according to the sauce and toppings that you use.
  • Oat Fiber is made from grinding the outer husks of oats. How healthy is oat fiber? It's pure insoluble fiber, which doesn't dissolve in water and isn't broken down in the digestive tract, so it has zero net carbs and is perfect for a Keto Diet. It helps give a more traditional texture and that's why I use it so often. Check out all the Keto Oat Fiber Recipes you can make!
  • To get the best results, it's best to use oat fiber if you can. If you're unable to find it, try a combination of psyllium husk powder and coconut flour. Since both are very absorbent, you might have to add more liquid.
