Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to about 205°C (200°C).
2. 2Grate the 1 medium cauliflower. Place the grated cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Alternatively, steam it until tender. Let the cooked cauliflower cool completely.
3. 3Once cooled, place the cooked cauliflower in the center of a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Twist the towel tightly and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial for a crispy crust.
4. 4In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, 1 large egg, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, and 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. Mix everything together thoroughly until well combined.
5. 5Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press the mixture evenly with your hands to form a round pizza crust, about 0.635-1.27 cm thick.
6. 6Bake the crust in the preheated oven at about 205°C (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the surface looks dry.
7. 7Remove the crust from the oven. Spread the 1/2 cup of tomato sauce evenly over the baked crust, leaving a small border. Top with the sliced 1/2 medium bell pepper, 1/4 medium onion, and 1/2 cup mushrooms.
8. 8Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the toppings. Drizzle the 1 tbsp of olive oil over the pizza.
9. 9Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes at about 205°C (200°C), or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the toppings are tender.
