Ingredients
- Cauliflower - 300 grams
- Shredded mozzarella cheese - 150 grams
- Egg - 1 large
- Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
- Ground black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
- Ground beef (preferably Wagyu) - 200 grams
- Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
- Mirin - 1 tablespoon
- Sliced green onions - 2 tablespoons
- Sliced bell peppers (any color) - 50 grams
- Sliced mushrooms - 50 grams
- Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
- Teriyaki sauce (sugar-free) - 2 tablespoons
- Toasted sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
- To make the cauliflower crust, steam the cauliflower florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Once cooled, rice the cauliflower using a food processor or cheese grater until it resembles grains.
- In a mixing bowl, combine riced cauliflower, 100 grams of shredded mozzarella, egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined pizza stone or baking sheet, forming a round crust about 1/2 inch thick.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm.
- While the crust is baking, heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in soy sauce, mirin, and teriyaki sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Once the crust is ready, sprinkle the remaining 50 grams of mozzarella on top, followed by the cooked beef, sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, and sliced green onions.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, slice, and serve hot.
