This cauliflower crust holds together better than expected, staying crispy on the bottom while staying tender inside. The cheese browns into golden spots that make each bite more interesting than the last.

Jeremy and I are pizza fanatics. The question, “What do you want for dinner?” can quickly turn into pizza. Homemade, ordered, etc. We are not too picky. We love it. Maybe it’s the amount of veggies or meat we can fit on it. I know for sure I’m a bread fiend. When we were trying to figure out his stomach issues though, we tried cauliflower pizza crust and this last time was pretty amazing. My next attempt, I’m going with quinoa. Stay tuned for that later, for now, here’s the cauliflower version.
Ingredients:
1 medium head (5-6"), Cauliflower (Head) - Medium
0.25 cup (28g), Shredded Mozerella Cheese
0.25 cup(s), Parmesan Cheese
1 Egg, Egg, Large Whole
1 tsp, Garlic & Pepper Seasoning
0.25 Cup, Plain Bread Crumbs (Most recipes do not call for this but my husband likes the added strength of the crust, you may leave this out to save calories/gluten)
Cheese Cloth (you can also use a rag but I’ve found the cheese cloth worked better for us)
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
1. Cut the cauliflower from the head after cleaning. Add the cauliflower to a food processor and pulse until “riced”. This takes about 30 seconds each batch. (I have a tiny food processor)
2. Place the riced cauliflower into the microwave and cook for 2-3 minutes. Let set out until cooled while you prep toppings and the cheese cloth.
3. Once cool enough to handle place riced cauliflower into the cheese cloth a little at a time. Squeeze the water from the cauliflower. You will be surprised at how much you can get out of it. (I have my husband help me).
4. When the water is all squeezed out of the cauliflower add the cheeses, egg, seasonings and bread crumbs to the bowl and mix completely. It will be a sticky kind of crust but never fear the oven crisps it up.
5. Add a piece of parchment to a sheet tray and press the dough out into the size and shape you’d like. I went rectangle this last time.
6. Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until it is brown and crispy along the edges.
7. Add the sauce, toppings and cheese of your choice and bake another 5-7 minutes.
