Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 17 minutes
Total Time 27 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked riced cauliflower
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • olive oil optional
  • pizza sauce shredded cheese and your choice of toppings

Method
 

  1. Take your head of cauliflower and remove the stem and leaves. Shop florets into chunks. Place chunks into a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower looks like grain. Do not over mix, or it will puree. Cauliflower can be grated if you do not have a food processor. You will only actually be using one cup (this yields about 3), so you don’t have to chop it all if you aren’t prepared to make some extra crusts.
  2. Place riced cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes. Do not add anything here!
Making the Pizza Crust
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°, and spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together cauliflower, mozzarella cheese and egg. Add oregano, crushed garlic and garlic salt, stir.
  3. Transfer mixture to the cookie sheet and press out to about a 9″ round. This is a lot easier than you might think. Now you can brush the surface with olive oil if you would like – for help with browning, but not necessary. I did it the first time and not the second.
  4. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and top with pizza sauce and toppings, then with the cheese. Depending on the toppings you use, you may want to precook them, since this is just a broil. I precooked the onions, but that was it.
  5. Place pizza under the broiler until cheese is melted.
