Preparation
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees and place a flat baking pan in it to heat up. Finely grate the cauliflower, cover it with a plate and put it in the microwave for 4 minutes.

Add the cauliflower to the cheese and add oregano, garlic and egg. Mix the ingredients together. Lay out a piece of parchment paper and spread a little bit of olive oil over it. Make the shape of your pizza base on the baking paper with the cauliflower ‘dough’. Place the baking paper on the warm baking tray and put it in the oven for 10 minutes. When the bottom is baked, add the topping. Spread the tomato sauce over the bottom and add ham and chopped red pepper. Now put the pizza in the oven for 5 minutes. Serve with basil leaves if desired.
