Drain it on a sheet of paper towel and make sure it is not wet.

Shred cauliflower by hand using a box grater or pulse it in your food processor.
-
14
I did both ways to test both ways out.

If you pulse it in your food processor you want very small pieces throughout and a consistent size; the size of rice.

You want 4 full cups of cauliflower for this recipe.
-

Use the rest for another recipe.

Optional step: Insert a steamer basket into a pot with about an inch of water inside (make sure the basket is not touching the water).
-
22
Bring the water to a simmer, put the cauliflower in the basket and steam your cauliflower rice about 4-5 minutes until done but not mushy.
-
23
Or instead of steaming it in a steamer basket you can place it in a Pyrex baking dish (no water added!)
-
24
and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
-
25
Cook time depends on your microwave but it should be tender and not mushy when done.
-

Let cauliflower cool, then strain out any extra liquid if any.
-

There is much less with the microwave technique.

In a large bowl mix your cauliflower with the egg, spices and salt.

Place 1-2 heaping balls of your mixture on your parchment paper (depends on if you want 1 or 2 pizzas).
-

-
34
Press it out by hand and mold your pizza crust into the pan so its around 1/4 thick.
-

Make a slight lip around the edge to hold your filling in if youd like.

Bake crust for approximately 35-45 minutes.

When done carefully flip it over and bake another 3-5 minutes to form the crust even more since there is no dairy holding this firmly together.
-
41
I found the discrepancy on baking time really depends on your oven and how wet your cauliflower is when you mix it.
-

Remove from oven.

Place crust on a rack to allow ventilation and some air on all sides.

Add desired toppings such as pizza sauce, hormone-free pepperoni, sauteed Canadian bacon, homemade chicken sausage, pan-fried prosciutto, sliced black olives and dried oregano.
