01
Prepare and Cook Cauliflower Rice
Start by pulsing the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they’re broken down into small, rice-sized pieces. Pour the cauliflower rice into a saucepan, add some water, and cook it over medium-low heat for about 10 to 15 minutes. Once it’s done, transfer it to a bowl and pop it in the fridge to cool completely—this usually takes around half an hour.
02
Preheat Oven and Drain Cauliflower
While that’s chilling, go ahead and preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. When the cauliflower rice is cool, spread it out on a clean kitchen towel, wrap it up tightly, and squeeze out as much moisture as you can. This step is key to getting a crispy crust.
03
Mix and Shape Crust
Now, toss the drained cauliflower into a big bowl and mix in the eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan, paprika, oregano, and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined. Spread the mixture onto your baking sheet and shape it into a pizza crust.
04
Bake and Cool Crust
Bake the crust for about 20 minutes until it’s firm and starting to brown. Let it cool completely before flipping it over gently. Once flipped, you can add your favorite toppings and finish baking if you like!
Why you’ll love it
This dough is low in carbs and perfect for anyone following a keto lifestyle. It’s easy to make and comes together quickly with simple ingredients. Plus, it offers a great alternative to traditional pizza crust without sacrificing taste or texture.
How to serve
Top with your favorite low-carb sauces, cheeses, and vegetables. Add meats like pepperoni or sausage for extra flavor. Serve with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftover dough wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the dough for up to a month—thaw it in the fridge before using. Pre-baked crusts can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the oven for best results.
