Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to as hot as it goes (550F for me) with a pizza stone for around an hour. Heating the stone for a long time gets it as hot as possible, leading to the most browning on the underside of your pizza. This step is optional if you don't have a pizza stone; you can also bake on a cookie sheet

Step 2

Add your cauliflower to a food processor, and pulse until you have a rice like consistency. Don't over blend

Step 3

Transfer the cauliflower to a medium glass bowl, and cover with a plate. Microwave on high for 5 minutes

Step 4

When done, add the rest of the crust ingredients (egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, flax, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes) to the bowl and mix to form a fully combined dough

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper, and flatten into 2 even round crusts

Step 6

Blind bake the crust on a preheated stone on the parchment paper until golden brown, about 10 minutes

Step 7

Remove the crusts from the oven, top with sauce, cheese, and any other toppings, and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 8 minutes to warm the sauce and melt the cheese. Optionally, broil the top for 1-2 minutes. Watch it carefully so it doesn't burn
