This cheesy pizza crust is absolutely perfect for the grain free crowd!
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 4 -6

Ingredients
  

  • Cauliflower- 1/2 lg head
  • 2/3 cup mozzarella cheese grated
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp basil
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1 clove of garlic or 1/2 tsp of garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp Himalayan sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a food processor grind the florets of the cauliflower only until it is the consistency of rice.
  • In a small saucepan place the ground cauliflower and 1/4 cup of water and cook for 5-8 minutes to soften.
  • Allow the cauliflower to sit and cool for 20 minutes.
  • Once it has cooled enough to handle, place the cauliflower into a clean dishcloth and wring out as much water as you can (this is an important step, otherwise your crust will be mushy!)
  • Add the strained cauliflower to a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
  • Form into a ball.
  • Place the ball on a baking pan lined with a silpat mat or parchment paper that has been sprayed with olive oil.
  • Spread out the dough until it's in a thin layer.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes (you will see the crust starting to brown)
  • Remove the crust from the oven and top with sauce and your desired toppings.
  • Bake for an additional 10-13 minutes.

Notes

You can add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp of unrefined sea salt, but I omitted it and the pizza was plenty salty...especially if you are going to use uncured pepperoni or sausage.
