Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Broccoli Pizza Crust Alternative.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large baking sheet with a layer of parchment paper.
Step 2
In your food processor, pulse the broccoli florets until they achieve a rice-like texture.
Step 3
Once done, transfer the riced broccoli onto a clean paper towel and squeeze out as much moisture as you can—this step is crucial for a crispy crust.
Step 4
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend the riced broccoli with mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, a beaten egg, gluten-free bread crumbs, minced garlic, sliced basil, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.
Step 5
Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Step 6
Next, divide the mixture into four equal portions, rolling each into a golf ball-sized shape.
Step 7
Gently flatten each ball into individual crusts and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Slide the crusts into the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the bottoms turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 9
Flip the crusts over and let them bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes, allowing the other side to reach that perfect golden hue.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await your delicious creation!.
