Caulifower pizza crust

This is one of our families favorite recipe right now! I wasn't sure how this would taste but, it is sooo yummy! You can’t tell at all that the crust is made out of cauliflower. It doesn’t taste like “real” pizza crust, but it doesn’t have the flavor or texture of cauliflower either.

Yield: One 9 to 12-inch pizza (feeds 2 people)
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 18 min

Ingredients:

CRUST:

1/2 LARGE head cauliflower (or 2+ cups shredded cauliflower)
1 large egg
1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic (or fresh garlic)
1/2 teaspoon onion salt

TOPPINGS:

1/2 cup tomato-basil marinara sauce (or pizza sauce)
1/2 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
And whatever over toppings you like


Directions:
Preheat the oven 450 and spray a cookie sheet

Just use a cheese grater to “grate” your cauliflower into very small pieces.
Microwave those cauliflower crumbles for 8 minutes. No water or anything needed.
 Just microwave it for 8 minutes to soften it up, and then let it cool a little bit. .




Mix 1 1/2 cups of the cauliflower crumbles with egg, cheese and spices. (I used mozzarella, but imagine using different varieties of cheeses in the crust! Yum!)

Shape it into a 9 to 12-inch round.
 Bake JUST the crust for 15 minutes


After the crust is cooked top it with desired sauce and toppings.
 Basil marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, Canadian bacon and pineapple (our favorite).

 Broil the pizza 3 to 4 minutes, or until the toppings are hot and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Cut into 6 slices and serve immediately.
