  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1 teaspoon fennel powder
  • 1½ teaspoons oregano
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped
  • Pinch of garlic powder

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Ingredients for pizza topping:

  • 2 cups ground meat

  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Pinch of salt and ground pepper
  • 1 cup fresh tomato puree from 2 tomatoes

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Place the raw cauliflower rice into a big bowl, add cheese, eggs, fennel, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, salt and pepper and knead them together with your hand. Wear a food gloves if you like.
  2. Brush a 12“ dia. round pizza pan with melted butter, form cauliflower mixture onto pan and spread evenly to smooth out.
  3. Bake crust in oven for 30-40 minutes or until crust is lightly brown. Turn the crust over and bake for another 15 minutes until crust is brown. Crust holds together when moisture is mainly dried out.
  4. Prepare pizza topping: Heat bacon grease in the pan. Cook the ground meat in the pan. Use a spatula to break apart the ground meat into bite size pieces while cooking in pan. When meat is almost cooked, add onion, thyme, rosemary and parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. When crust is ready, remove from oven. Spread tomato puree evenly onto the crust. Add the cooked meat and sprinkle on the crispy pancetta, and Mozzarella cheese.
  6. Set oven to broil and place pizza in oven for 5 minutes or until cheese melted. Remove from oven and serve immediately.
