This Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe has been one of my go-to’s as of late. Our household is gluten-free at this time and I’m always looking for new healthy recipes. I’ve seen a few for cauliflower crusts and I’ve adjusted it to suit my taste. Check out the vegetable spotlight from earlier this week.
If you’ve been following along with my garden updates, you know my cauliflower isn’t ready to harvest yet. However, I am happy to say the basil for this recipe did come from my garden.
This recipe makes about 4 personal pizzas. I can usually eat 2 in one sitting.
Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 cauliflower head (roughly 3 cups puréed)
- 1 Egg
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella
- 1 Tablespoon of Parmesan
- 4 leaves of fresh Basil
- 1/2 Teaspoon of dried oregano
- 1/2 Teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
- Select your favorite tomato sauce and toppings of your choosing
Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350.
You’ll want to chop your cauliflower and garlic into pieces before putting them into a food processor to purée. Once your cauliflower is ready, put it into a small pan on medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. Then let it cool enough to touch.
Next, you’ll want a cheesecloth (you can buy these for less than $2). Taking a handful at a time, ring the water out as much as you can and set aside.
In a large bowl, crack and wisp your egg. Then add the rest of your ingredients and mix. Finally, add your cauliflower.
After you are done mixing all the ingredients together, place balls of your cauliflower dough on a baking sheet and press into small, flat circles. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges start to brown.
Take out, at a little oil, and then place your desired toppings. I add tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, chicken and artichoke hearts with a little bit of parsley on top.
Put your pizza back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes until the toppings have cooked and the cheese has melted.
Take out and let cool. And enjoy your pizza, guilt-free!
