Preparing the Pizza
Start by adding broccoli rice, eggs, coconut flour, avocado oil, basil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder into a mixing bowl. Stir together until a thick dough forms.
Next, pour the broccoli pizza dough into the center of a parchment paper lined baking sheet. With a silicone spatula, press the dough into a circle.
Baking
Bake at 350 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. (The edges should be golden brown.)
Adding the Toppings
Remove the pizza crust from the oven and add your toppings! Place the pizza back in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Serving
Once the pizza is fully cooked, remove it from the oven. Use a pizza cutter or large knife to slice into small pieces.
Notes
How to Make Broccoli Rice
You can purchase pre-packaged broccoli from the grocery store, but it’s a lot less expensive to make it yourself!Start by chopping the head of broccoli in half and then cut one half into similarly sized pieces.Add about two cups of chopped broccoli into a food processor. Pulse on and off until it becomes a “rice” consistency. Repeat until you have enough for the recipe!
Helpful Tips
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper! This will prevent the crust from sticking.
Bake the crust for at least 25 minutes before adding any toppings. (Especially sauce!) You want the crust to be firm before adding any toppings that would make it soggy.
Use a pizza cutter! It works great for making perfect pizza slices.
Make sure the crust isn't too thick in the center because it will rise slightly in the oven. Press down with wet hands or a silicone spatula.
