Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C) and place a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease liberally with olive oil.

Place the cauliflower rice in a tea towel and twist it to squeeze out as much moisture as you can (I squeezed out more than 1 cup of liquid). This is very important. The cauliflower rice needs to be dry. Otherwise you’ll end up with a mushy dough, not a crusty one.

Transfer the cauliflower flour to a mixing bowl and add egg, mozzarella, oregano, sea salt and pepper.

Using your hands, press the mixture onto the baking sheet and shape into a thin pizza “disc”.

Serve hot (btw it holds very well when reheated in the microwave)
