Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Ghost Pizza
Step 1 – Prep Your Ingredients
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While that’s heating up, wash and chop your cauliflower into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains. This step is crucial for your crust’s texture!
Step 2 – Start Cooking
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out any excess moisture to ensure your crust won’t be soggy. In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower rice with eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Italian seasonings. Mix well until everything is combined.
Step 3 – Combine and Finish Cooking
Spread the mixture onto a lined baking sheet, forming a round crust about 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. While the crust is baking, prepare your toppings: slice your pepperoni, chop vegetables, and get your sauce ready. Once the crust is out of the oven, it’s time to add your pizza sauce and toppings.
Step 4 – Serve and Enjoy
Return your topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden. Once done, let it cool slightly before slicing. Grab a slice and enjoy your guilt-free Ghost Pizza!
