Low Carb Pizza
Main Ingredients
1 head of cauliflower
1 cup mozzarella cheese - grated
1 egg
2 tsp italian seasoning
1 tsp garlic salt
pizza sauce
Toppings for pizza:
salami
sun dried tomatoes
black olives
Preparation
Step 1: Chop cauliflower and place in a medium pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetable is soft when pierced with a fork.
Step 2: Drain cauliflower. Either mash or chop in your blender. Press cauliflower until all the liquid has been removed.
Step 3: Preheat oven to 350F.
Step 4: Allow cauliflower to cool. Once it has cooled add 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, egg, seasoning and salt. At this stage I like to mix the dough with my hands until it has a nice, smooth consistency.
Step 5: Spread onto a round pizza pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 6: Remove pizza crust from oven.
Step 7: Spread with pizza sauce, desired toppings and the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Step 8: Bake for another 15 minutes.
