Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
2. Steam or microwave the cauliflower florets until soft, then drain and allow to cool slightly.
3. In a food processor, blend the cauliflower until it resembles rice. Squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towel.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the processed cauliflower, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well mixed.
5. Spread the cauliflower mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming a pizza crust about 1/2 inch thick.
6. Drizzle with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
7. Remove the crust from the oven and top with crumbled bacon, diced pineapple, and chopped basil.
8. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes until the toppings are heated through.
9. Slice and serve hot, garnished with extra basil if desired.
