Many people have commented and said that the amount of cheese can be reduced by half, and still taste just as good!
Directions:
To rice your cauliflower, take 1 large head of cauliflower, remove the
stems and leaves, and chop the florets into chunks. Add to a food
processor and pulse just until it looks like rice. Alternatively, you
can grate the cauliflower with a cheese grater.
Place the riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl, add 1/4 cup
water, and microwave for 6-8 minutes, stirring half-way through.
To make the pizza, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a pizza pan or cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the cauliflower, mozzarella cheese and egg
together and stir until well incorporated. Add the oregano, garlic, and
garlic salt. Transfer to the cookie sheet, and shape into a 9-inch
circle. Brush the crust with olive oil to help it brown in the oven.
Baked at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes, until the crust is browned and cooked through the middle.
Remove the crust from the oven, add your sauce and toppings. Place
under a broiler at high heat until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
(About 3-4 minutes).
Allow the pizza to cool slightly, then cut into slices and serve.
