04 - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until finely ground to a rice-like texture. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
03 - In a large bowl, combine the processed cauliflower, eggs, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until a uniform dough forms.
04 - Place the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 12-inch round or rectangle approximately 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and firm.
05 - Remove crust from oven and brush or drizzle buffalo sauce evenly over the surface. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then add green onions, celery, and blue cheese if desired.
06 - Return pizza to oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
07 - Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, slice, and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It satisfies that deep craving for buffalo wings and pizza at the same time without the guilt.
  • The cauliflower crust gets genuinely crispy and holds up to all that spicy sauce and melted cheese.
  • You can prep the crust ahead and just top it when hunger strikes on a busy night.
02 -
  • If you don't squeeze out enough moisture from the cauliflower, the crust will steam instead of crisp and fall apart when you try to slice it.
  • Letting the pizza rest for a full 5 minutes after baking helps the cheese firm up just enough to hold everything together when you cut it.
03 -
  • Broil the finished pizza for 1 to 2 minutes at the end if you want the cheese to get those beautiful golden bubbles on top.
  • Use a pizza stone if you have one, it helps the bottom of the crust get even crispier and more authentic.
