Ingredients
  

  • 1 small Cauliflower - 1 small
  • 1 + ½ Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese / Italian Cheese Blend
  • 2 cloves Garlic (grated)
  • 1 tsp Dry Oregano
  • ½ tsp Salt (adjust per taste)
  • 1 tsp Fresh ground pepper (adjust per taste)

Instructions
 

  • First wash and chop up the cauliflower florets. Discard the stems. Add only the florets to a mixie/blender/food processor and pulse it until it turns into small rice sized particles. It measured 2 Cups for me after pulsing.

  • Preheat the oven to 425 F. Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Form it into a rectangle and smooth the sides and top. I used an icing spatula to even it out. Bake in the oven for about 25 mins or until it is golden brown on the top.

Notes | FAQ

- You can also grate the cauliflower finely instead of pulsing.
- The cauliflower after pulsing measure 2 Cups for me. All other ingredients are measured based on the quantity of cauliflower after pulsing.
- I used Italian cheese blend instead of just plain mozzarella cheese.
- I just had ½ cup of cheese left for topping. You can add as much you need to top the breadstick.
