  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C / 440°F. Line a large pizza stone or baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Place the chopped cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until finely ground (rice-like). Transfer the ground cauliflower to a large bowl.
  3. Add the minced garlic and the 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning to the cauliflower and mix to combine.
  4. Transfer the cauliflower mixture into a clean cheesecloth or kitchen towel, gather the cloth, and squeeze firmly to remove as much moisture as possible. Return the dried cauliflower to the bowl.
  5. Add 1 2/3 cups low-moisture mozzarella, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, and 2 large eggs to the cauliflower. Mix until evenly combined and a cohesive mixture forms.
  6. Transfer the mixture onto the prepared parchment and shape it into a 12-inch circle, pressing and compacting the surface so it holds together.
  7. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, until it is lightly golden and set.
  8. Remove the crust from the oven, add your favorite toppings if desired, and return to the oven. Bake about 10 minutes more, or until any added cheese has melted and toppings are heated through.
  9. Remove the pizza from the oven, let cool briefly, slice, and serve.
