Low Carb Cauliflower Crust Pizza   

Ingredients

1. 1 large cauliflower head or 2 small cauliflower heads
2. 1/2 Zucchini
3. 1/2 Bell Pepper
4. 5-6 Bacon Slices (Optional)
5. 5-6 Salami (Optional)
6. 200g of Mozzarella/Parmigiano Reggiano 
7. 2 tsp Garlic Powder
8. 1/4 cup of Almond Flour or Flax Meal
9. 1 tsp Onion Powder
10. 2 tsp Paprika
11. 2 small eggs
12. Dried Herbs (Parsley/Oregano/thyme) 
13. 1 tbsp Olive Oil 
14. Salt and Pepper

Procedure

1. Shred the cauliflower in a food processor. Make sure to work in small batches to prevent the cauliflower from pureeing. 
2. Transfer the riced cauliflower to a clean bowl and squeeze out as much water as possible using a cheesecloth or kitchen towel. This step is very crucial in getting a firmer and crispier crust. 
3. Add whole eggs,  flax/almond meal, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the riced cauliflower. Combine them until they are well mixed. 
4. Form a rectangular/circular crust on a parchment paper/aluminium foil greased with little oil spray/butter to prevent the dough from sticking. 
5. Place the dough in a preheated oven at 400 F for about 30-40 mins depending on the thickness of the crust or until the crust becomes golden.
6. Spread the marinara/alfredo sauce over the crust. Top it with vegetables, cooked bacon crumbles and shredded cheese. Make sure not to add too much sauce as it might make the pizza soggier. 
7. Place it in the oven for another 2-3  mins until the cheese is melted. 
8. Let it cool completely and then slice it and enjoy!
