Ingredients needed for my pizza crust recipe:
You can find the amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of this post but here’s the ingredients you need to make this delicious homemade low carb pizza crust.
- Mozzarella Cheese
- Eggs
- Cauliflower
That’s right, you read the whole list in one blink…it’s that simple. There’s just three ingredients in this delicious pizza dough recipe. It’s not a traditional rising dough that will double in size. This is going to stay pretty much true to the size you form it out to be: plan accordingly :)
Tools for making cauliflower pizza crust:
A pizza pan will make baking a breeze and of course you’ll want a pizza cutter to slice them up just right! Another great way to make these tasty pizzas is with a baking stone, or a pizza oven like we use.
They get that perfectly cooked bottom with an easy to use ceramic baking stone. You can use a regular baking sheet as well.
How to make homemade pizza crust:
Place the cauliflower in food processor and mince. Add the mozzarella and egg, then stir it together with a spoon or fork. You can also mix in a stand mixer but I find the food processor is easier and everything gets blended really well.
Preheat the oven during this time as well. This pizza dough recipe will work best when put into a hot oven!
Press onto parchment paper in a circle or square (or any other desired pizza shape) on a pizza stone or baking sheet and cook for 7 minutes on 400 degrees, or in a pizza oven.
Flip the pizza crust and add your toppings like olive oil, mozzarella cheese, spinach, etc. to the bottom of the crust (it gets a little crispier that way), and bake another 7 minutes or until browned.
Look at those results! It’s a perfect pizza recipe that is a little healthier and more wholesome!
When halving this recipe, you can still use one egg–it comes out just fine. If you want the recipe to double in size you can do that as well! Perfect for letting the whole family make their own pizza!

If the cauliflower is already riced, how much would I use
Maybe 2 cups?
Can this pizza be safely frozen? Also I’m expecting tht if yes, it should be frozen baked.
Any feedback ?
I’d freeze it at least a little bit cooked!
Thank you.
Are you sure about the calorie count on this? And if so, what type of mozzarella did you use? I just put the ingredients into the my fitness pal app and the calorie count is significantly higher, because a cup of Kraft part skim low moisture shredded mozzarella is 320 calories, an egg is 72 calories and 2 cups cauliflower is 54 calories. Which makes it 223 calories per serving.
Hi Katherine,
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. The website we use to calculate nutritional information was not giving an accurate total for this recipe. I went back and checked (we were using Kroger low-moisture part-skim Mozzarella) and it was indeed wrong. I’ll update the post right now :)
I would like to say how very impressed I am with this crust and thank you for posting a recipe that is low carb, low calorie, and gluten free. This was everything my diet needed for me to give into my pizza craving without ruining all my hard work.
A few tips to those of you trying this recipe: every oven is different and cooking times and techniques therefore can vary. The instructions as written didn’t work for me.
I needed to do the following:
First, don’t spread your cauliflower mixture too thin. This recipe makes two approximately 12 inch diameter personal size crusts. I used a parchment lined baking sheet and also sprinkled the crust with a little garlic powder and ground black pepper.
Bake at 400 for about 15 minutes until the bottom of the crust looks golden. Cool for 2 minutes. Carefully remove the parchment with crust on it from the baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with another piece of parchment and flip the crust onto it, carefully peeling away the original parchment.
Return to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the underside is golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes. Carefully move to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely. This allows the crust to firm up and actually feel like a crust.
Top with whatever toppings you like and bake in oven just long enough to melt your cheese.
This was very tasty and satisfying! Thank you again for a great recipe!
Kathrine – your method worked for me also ! Thank you for your input ! It’s a great crust I just couldn’t do it their way either ! Yours was perfect !❤️
Katherine,
I used your method & the crust was easier to manage than other recipes I’ve tried. Thanks for the tips!
Is it 1 cup cooked or uncooked cauliflower? And do you chop it up real small fist to measure out the cup?
1 cup cooked, and not super small -it’s ok if it’s a little under or over.
Thank you so very much 👍😁
How does this work for 2B Mindset? I know veggies first, but how do the egg and cheese factor in?
They’re both protein on 2B :) If you need a food list, you can signup to receive access to my printable library here: https://mycrazygoodlife.com/newsletter
Can you use frozen cauliflower rice ?
I’d cook it and make sure to drain the water out first :)
Becca,
It’s delightful & really helps that pizza craving.
Could you use fat free mozzarella cheese to lower the points more.for the purple plan?
Absolutely!
