Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked cauliflower riced
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tsp italian seasonings
  • 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dairy free mozzarella cheese* shredded
  • pizza sauce amp; additional toppings

Instructions

  • reheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  • If you have pre-riced cauliflower, skip this step. To rice the cauliflower, cut floret put them in a food processor until you see rice-like bits Do not over process, as it will turn mushy.
  • Put riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl and place in microwave for 5-8 minutes. After microwaving, transfer riced cauliflower to a mesh strainer and press the water out to drain completely. Once drained, transfer the riced cauliflower to a cheese cloth or clean dish towel and wrap the sides around the cauliflower while gently pressing out excess water. This drying process is VITAL for a perfect crust!
  • In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup riced and cooked cauliflower, 1 egg and yeast flakes. Next, add Italian seasonings, crushed garlic and salt. Making sure everything is well mixed, place your “dough” on the cookie sheet and pat it into a 9″ round. Be sure not to press it too thin, you do not want holes.
  • Bake your dough at 450 degrees for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Add sauce, shredded cheese, and your favorite pre-cooked toppings to your pizza. (My fav= sliced mushrooms, peppers, spinach, garlic) Place pizza under broiler just until cheese is melted, be sure to keep an eye on it!
