Ingredients

1 medium head cauliflower, riced (organic recommended)
1/2 cup almond flour (blanched, organic if possible)
3 large eggs (pasture-raised preferred)
1/2 cup unflavored whey or plant-based protein powder (low-carb, clean ingredients)
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (for a cheesy flavor without dairy)
1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin, cold-pressed)
1 tbsp ground flaxseeds (for added fiber and binding)

Directions

Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
Rice the Cauliflower: If using a whole cauliflower, cut it into florets and pulse in a food processor until fine, resembling rice.
Steam & Dry: Steam the riced cauliflower for 5 minutes, then let it cool. Once cooled, transfer it to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, almond flour, eggs, protein powder, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, olive oil, and flaxseeds. Mix until well combined.
Form the Crust: Place the mixture on the prepared baking sheet and press it into a round or rectangular shape about 1/4-inch thick.
Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until firm and golden brown.
Cool Slightly & Add Toppings: Let the crust cool for a few minutes before adding your favorite SOZA-friendly toppings like lean proteins, non-starchy vegetables, and sugar-free tomato sauce.
Final Bake: Return to the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes with toppings, then serve hot.
