Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Making your own cauliflower pizza crust isn't hard at all, and you'll find this particular crust packed with flavor, even before adding any toppings
Servings 8
Ingredients
- Olive oil
- Florets from 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese*
- 3 tbsp grated Parmesan
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and brush paper lightly with olive oil.
- Chop or shred florets in the food processor until finely riced. Place in a large bowl and microwave for 5 to 6 minutes. Let cool then wring out in a clean dishtowel.
- Add all remaining ingredients to the cauliflower and mix well.
- Gather together and scoop onto oiled parchment-lined baking sheet. Press into a flat circle with a slightly higher, thicker edge. The thinner the crust, the crispier it will be.
- Bake on bottom oven rack for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Line edges with foil if edges brown too much before bottom is done.*
- Remove from oven and add toppings as desired.
Notes
*Substitute goat cheese or feta if desired.
*If toppings require further baking and not just a brief broil, add toppings after baking crust for 25 minutes, then bake an additional 10 minutes with the toppings.
