Recipe
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 2-4
Ingredients
- •1 large head cauliflower, riced and moisture removed
- •1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- •1 large egg, lightly beaten
- •1/4 cup superfine almond flour
- •1 teaspoon dried oregano
- •3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- •2 cloves garlic, minced
- •1.5 cups wild mushrooms (chanterelles, porcini, or cremini), sliced
- •1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- •8 ounces fior di latte mozzarella, torn into pieces
- •1 tablespoon premium white truffle oil
- •1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- •Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
- 2Steam the riced cauliflower for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze vigorously to remove every drop of excess moisture.
- 3In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry cauliflower pulp, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, almond flour, and oregano until a pliable dough forms.
- 4Place the dough on the prepared parchment and press it into a 10-inch round, ensuring it is a consistent 1/4 inch thickness for even crisping.
- 5Bake the crust for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are deep golden brown and the base feels firm to the touch.
- 6While the crust bakes, sauté the wild mushrooms in a hot pan with a splash of oil and the fresh thyme until they are caramelized and fragrant.
- 7In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and minced garlic to create a concentrated infusion.
- 8Remove the golden crust from the oven and brush the garlic-infused oil across the entire surface.
- 9Top the pizza with the torn fior di latte mozzarella and the sautéed mushrooms.
- 10Bake for an additional 8 to 10 minutes until the mozzarella is melted into creamy pools and the crust is crisp.
- 11Drizzle with the premium white truffle oil and finish with a pinch of flaky sea salt and black pepper before slicing.
