Since this recipe first appeared around 2012, there has been a lot of Facebook and Blog posts sharing various cauliflower crust recipes. I've always loved cauliflower, but to be honest, I am a bit skeptical of the process and results.
Try it out and see what you think!
Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Ingredients:
2 pounds cauliflower florets, riced
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup soft goat cheese
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
pinch of salt
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 400F.
Fill a large pot with about an inch of water, and bring it to a boil. Add the "rice" and cover; let it cook for about 4-5 minutes. Drain into a fine mesh strainer.
Once you have drained the rice, transfer it to a clean, thin dish towel. Wrap up the steamed rice in the dish towel and twist it up and squeeze our all the excess moisture.
In a large bowl, mix your rice with the egg, goat cheese and spices. Mix very well. It is not going to have the same consistency as pizza dough, but it will hold together.
Press the dough out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Keep the dough about 1/3 inch thick and make the edges a bit higher to hold the sauce.
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 400F.
Now it's time to load up your toppings, then return to the oven to bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the toppings are warm and any cheese you add has melted.
Slice and serve!
