1
Place a pizza stone in the oven, or baking sheet if you dont have a pizza stone.
-
2
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. On a cutting board, place a large piece of parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking oil.
-
3
Wash and throughly dry a small head of cauliflower.
-
4
Dont get one the size of your head unless you are planning on making 2 pizzas.
-
5
Cut off the floretsyou dont need much stem, just stick with the florets.
-
6
Pulse in your food processor for about 30 seconds, until you get powdery snow like cauliflower.
-
7
You should end up with 2 to 3 cups cauliflower snow.
-
8
Place the cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl and cover.
-
9
Cook for 4 minutes.
-
10
Dump cooked cauliflower onto a clean tea towel and allow to cool for a bit before attempting the next step.
-
11
Once cauliflower is cool enough to handle, wrap it up in the dish towel and wring the heck out of it.
-
12
You want to squeeze out as much water as possible.
-
13
This will ensure you get a chewy pizza like crust instead of a crumbly mess.
-
14
Dumped squeezed cauliflower into a bowl.
-
15
Now add Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, kosher salt, dried basil (crush up the leaves even more between your fingers before adding), dried oregano (crush up the leaves even more between your fingers before adding), garlic powder (not garlic salt), and a dash of red pepper if you want.
-
16
I also added 1 tablespoon almond meal because my cauliflower yielded closer to 2 cups of cauli snow; this is optional and I would not add the almond meal if you have closer to 3 cups of cauli snow.
-
17
Now add the egg and mix away.
-
18
Hands tend to work best.
-
19
Once mixed together, use your hands to form the dough into a crust on your oiled parchment paper.
-
20
Pat it down throughly, you want it nice and tightly formed together.
-
21
Dont make it too thick or thin either.
-
22
Using a cutting board, slide the parchment paper onto your hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
-
23
Bake for 8-11 minutes, until it starts to turn golden brown.
-
24
Remove from oven.
-
25
Add however much sauce, cheese, and toppings you want.
-
26
Im not gonna give you measurements for this.
-
27
You know how you like your pizzaso go for it!
-
28
Slide parchment with topped pizza back in the hot oven and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
-
29
Test your patience and allow it to cool for a minute or two.
-
30
Probably closer to two.
-
31
Then using a pizza cutter and a spatula, serve up your delicious grain-free cauliflower crust pizza!
