"Here's a simple recipe for cauliflower pizza crust:

Ingredients:

For the cauliflower crust:

1 medium head of cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups of cauliflower rice)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg
For the toppings (adjust to your preference):

Tomato sauce
Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives, etc.)
Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the cauliflower crust: Trim the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until they resemble fine crumbs, resembling rice.

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, until softened. Allow the cauliflower rice to cool slightly.

Once cooled, transfer the cauliflower rice to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Wrap the cauliflower rice in the towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is essential to prevent the crust from being too wet.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower rice, grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix until everything is well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.

Transfer the cauliflower dough to the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to press the dough into a round pizza crust, about 1/4 inch thick
Bake the cauliflower crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Once the crust is cooked, remove it from the oven and add your desired toppings. Start with a layer of tomato sauce, followed by shredded mozzarella cheese, and your favorite pizza toppings.

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Once the pizza is cooked to your liking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve your cauliflower pizza hot and enjoy!
