Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Cauliflower pizza crust? ....it does sound a bit strange I must admit, but it tastes awesome. Trust me! 

The best part about it is that you can eat it pretty much guilt free :) 

Here is what you will need to make enough for about 3 - 4 adults. 

Crust 

1 large head of cauliflower (washed and separated into large florets)

1/2 cup of cheese (you can use mozzarella, goat cheese, or a mixture)

1 large egg (lightly beaten)

1 tsp of dried oregano or basil

1/4 tsp of red chilli flakes (optional)

pinch of salt

Toppings:

Your choice ;)

For the pizza above we used pesto sauce, mozzarella and cheddar cheese, crimini mushrooms and fresh basil

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F

In a food processor, process cauliflower until finely chopped.

 

 

In the microwave or on the stove top cook cauliflower for 5-7 min.

Place cauliflower in towel and squeeze out all the excess water until it's completely dry.
This step is very important, otherwise you will end up with a soggy crust.

 

 

 

Add remaining crust ingredients to the cauliflower until well mixed.

 

 

 

On a parchment lined cookie sheet spread out "pizza dough" until about 1/3" thick. Leave edges a bit thicker so they don't burn.

 

 

 

Bake for 35-40 min until edges are golden.

 

 

 

Top with your favourite toppings and put back in the oven at 450 F for about 7 minutes.

 

 

Now, try not to eat all of it yourself ;)
