Place the cauliflower heads into a large food processor. I tried the Blendtec, and sadly, it failed me. Definitely do this with a food processor. Pulse it until it has turned into tiny snow like pieces.
Place the cauliflower snow into a microwavable dish, cover and microwave for about 4 or 5 minutes. Lay it out on a paper towel and a clean tea towel to cool off.
Make sure you wait for it to cool off. Trust me, you do not want to be doing this next part with hot cauliflower. Squeeze out as much excess water as you can:
Combine the other ingredients in a medium sized bowl:
Add the squeezed out cauliflower to the mixture:
Stir together the ingredients, then add the egg and form it into dough with your hands:
You’ll end up with a ball of dough big enough to make a 12″ pizza. It’s should be about this size:
Spread some oil on a piece of parchment paper and start pressing the dough into a pizza crust. Don’t be alarmed if the edges crack and separate like mine are doing in the photo below. They easily press back together:
I used one hand to flatten the dough and the other hand to form an edge so I could get the curve of the circle:
And there you have it! I skipped this next step, but you are supposed to bake the cauliflower pizza crust before you add your toppings. I’m assuming that helps keep it together? I totally missed that part of the recipe, but mine still turned out perfectly!
You can top it however you want, but I HIGHLY suggest making a greek pizza. It tasted soooooo good. The flavour combination of the oregano and garlic powder in the crust with the vegetables was seriously delicious! I topped it with olive oil, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese, kalamata olives, red onion, cherry tomatoes and parsley:
Besides being delicious, check out how beautiful it looked:
So this is what it looked like before I baked it:
And this is what it looked like after I baked it:
Delicious golden brown crust! It’s a little bit heavier than regular pizza, but it’s delicious.
Unless you are gluten free, this probably isn’t going to replace regular pizza for you, but it certainly is a fun way to switch things up! This is a recipe that is definitely worth trying!
This is way easier (and way faster for that matter) than making your own homemade pizza crust from flour. It takes about half an hour to make the cauliflower pizza crust dough and then another 15 minutes or so to bake it. You can top it with any of your favourite toppings, and you can even pick up the slices with your hands. Best cauliflower pizza crust ever!
