Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe in 5 Simple Steps
My 5-Step Cauliflower Pizza recipe is quick, easy, and the the most delicious alternative to a flour-based pizza dough.
Servings: 1 12" pizza
Ingredients
- 1 medium (1lb 6oz/630g) head of cauliflower cut into florets
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup (2 ¼oz/64g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup (¾ oz/21g) grated parmesan cheese
- 1 large garlic clove crushed
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup 5 minute pizza sauce
- ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower in 2 batches until it resembles fine rice, roughly 30 seconds.
- Place cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl and cover with cling wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes (Alternatively, you can also steam the cauliflower). Let cauliflower cool for 15 minutes.
- Once cool enough to handle, transfer cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel. Tighly squeeze out any moisture as best you can leaving no water remaining. This will yield you best results.
- Next transfer cauliflower pulp to a large bowl and add in egg, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Stir to combine and form a soft dough.
- Place a large piece of parchment on a baking tray. Place dough in the middle of the prepared pan and push out with your hands to form roughly a 12 inch circle. Top with my 5 minute pizza sauce, cheese and any of your favorite topping.
- Bake at 425°F (215°C) on the bottom shelf for roughly 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes minutes before cutting into 8 slices and serving. This crust doesn't crisp, so you will have to enjoy it using a knife and fork.
