Suggest a better descriptionMeasure out 1/2 cup diced tomatoes and puree in blender or chopper. Pulse for a few seconds. Set aside. You can also use an approved pasta sauce such as Rao's Marinara Sauce.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place parchment paper (not waxed paper) on a baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray. Combine grated cauliflower, egg whites, 1/2 cup cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano until mixed completely. Spoon mixture on prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to thin out mixture (or your hands) and form a circle about the size of a dinner plate without the rim. The thinner the crust, the better. Bake for about 22 to 25 minutes. Carefully flip the pizza crust over using a spatula to lift all edges of the crust off the parchment first. Bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes until edges are brown and crisp. Mine are usually burnt around the edges but it won't taste burnt. Let cool.
Add tomato sauce and 1/2 cup of cheese on top. Bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until cheese is melted. If you are making several cauliflower pizza crusts like I usually do, you can put the cooled crusts in gallon sized Ziploc bags to store in the freezer. I usually can fit 4 to 5 pizza crusts in a Ziploc bag. No need to wrap each one separately in foil. They won't stick together. When ready to eat, take it out of the freezer as you would a normal store bought frozen pizza. Top with sauce and toppings. Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes at 425 degrees or until cheese has melted. Enjoy!
