going low/no carb for a month now. I’ve gone from lots of cream and sugar in my coffee to straight black. The meal plan is getting stale and I’ve been craving pizza so bad I almost bought one and ate the toppings.
Instead, while at the store, I saw these cauliflower pizza crusts, but when I read the label they were loaded w carbs. So I did a quick google search, grabbed a fresh cauliflower, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano and headed home.
From there I washed my cauliflower, shredded it in the ninja, steamed it then layed it over paper towels. I soaked as much moisture out as possible, put that back into a bowl, added three eggs, oregano, 3/4 cup shredded mozz, 1/2 cup grated parm, and garlic powder. I mixed all that up, and then spread it evenly on a pan. Cranked the oven to 400, and baked the “crust” for 20 minutes or so, until golden brown.
The crust had a wonderful smell, I was actually starting to get a little optimistic. I then took a little tomato sauce, lightly spreaded some around and then back into the oven for 5 minutes to set up. Then I added more sauce, plenty mozzarella, Parmesan & turkey pepperoni. Back into the oven for 10 more minutes.
I have to say, it was delicious. The texture of the cauliflower crust was great. Chewy, crunchy, you felt like you were eating a legit pizza. Look, it wasn’t totally authentic, but we will absolutely do this again.
I highly recommend to anyone trying to avoid carb, or just bread in general.
