🥗Healthier: cauliflower crust

💰Cheaper: store-bought pizza dough

Cauliflower crust is lower in carbs, while store-bought is often cheaper.

Start by preparing the crust with 1 pound of ground chicken and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese in a bowl.

Add 2 beaten eggs and Italian seasoning mix to the bowl and mix everything together with your hands until well combined.

Spread the chicken mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming a thin layer for the crust.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and bake the crust for 25 minutes.

While the crust is baking, prepare the pizza sauce by heating olive oil in a pot and adding chopped garlic cloves and scallions until translucent (about 30-45 seconds).

Add a tube of tomato paste to the pot and mix it in.

Season the sauce with garlic powder, black pepper, Italian seasoning, oregano, and a scoop of Calabrian chili paste.

Pour in tomato sauce and let the mixture reduce for about 30 minutes until thickened, adding fresh basil, fresh oregano, a little salt, and sugar to balance acidity.

After 25 minutes, remove the crust from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Spread the prepared pizza sauce over the crust, followed by grated mozzarella cheese.

Top with halal beef pepperoni and jalapenos, then sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano.

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Once baked, sprinkle with more oregano, red pepper flakes, and drizzle with Mike's Hot Honey before slicing into squares.
