INGREDIENTS
1 cup chopped cauliflower (107g)
3 egg whites (approx. 99g)
1 tsp olive oil (5g)
100g fresh mozzarella
2 tbsp tomato sauce (30g)
1 handful fresh basil leaves (5g)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Steam the cauliflower florets until tender (about 6-8 minutes) and then pulse them in a food processor until you achieve a rice-like consistency.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl, cover loosely, and microwave for 3-4 minutes to remove excess moisture. Allow it to cool slightly.
Place the steamed cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dried cauliflower with the egg whites, olive oil, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms.
Spread the cauliflower dough evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a thin circle or rectangle to form your pizza crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it begins to turn golden and crisp.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the tomato sauce evenly over its surface.
Top the sauce with slices of fresh mozzarella and return the pizza to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes until the cheese softens and slightly browns.
Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, slice, and serve immediately.
