**Pin This Recipe**
I am constantly looking for healthy recipes that are outside the box and a good way to make use of the fresh produce in my refrigerator. After going gluten free this past January, one of the meals I’ve missed is pizza. I’ve tried a couple of gluten-free crust mixes as well as Domino’s Gluten Free pizza, but as of yet, I haven’t found one that I really like. So when I saw that I could make cauliflower pizza crust that is gluten-free, I was intrigued! The main component of this cauliflower pizza crust recipe is cauliflower, cheese and eggs. The rest of the ingredients are spices! (And pizza toppings)
This recipe is much easier to make than you would expect! The main tool you need is a food processor. And, while this is not a necessity, if you have a pizza stone to bake your pizza on, it will create a crispier crust, which is good because the cauliflower crust doesn’t quite stay together quite like a flour dough crust would.
To make the crust, pulse chopped cauliflower in your food processor until it looks like a grain (recipe is below)
Place the combined cauliflower “dough” mixture on a sprayed cookie sheet, parchment paper or a pizza stone and spread out to a thin layer. (Recipe is below)
Bake cauliflower dough for 15-20 minutes until top is slightly browned. (recipe is below)
Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe
1 cauliflower head
2 cups of shredded mozzarella
2 eggs, lightly whisked
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
½ – ¾ tsp garlic powder (or 2 garlic cloves)
¾ – 1 tsp garlic salt
EVOO
Pizza sauce, cheese and toppings
Directions
1. “Rice” the cauliflower. Chop it in to chunks, and then pulse it in your food processor until it looks like a grain (be careful not to go for too long, as it will become a puree rather quickly). You can also use a cheese grater if you don’t have a food processor.
2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
3. Cook the riced cauliflower in the microwave for 8 minutes
4. Add in the whisked eggs until well mixed, then mix in mozzarella, oregano, basil, garlic powder and garlic salt.
5. Divide the mixture in to 2 equal parts, and you have two pizza crusts.
6. Place on a sprayed cookie sheet, parchment paper or a pizza stone and spread out to a thin layer as you would a dough.
7. Brush “dough” with a layer of EVOO to allow browning to occur when cooking.
8. Cook in oven for 15-20 minutes. Crust should be browned, if it seems too wet, put it back in and check every 2-3 minute
9. Remove when done and spread on desired sauce and toppings – make sure topping are pre-cooked as you are only broiling them for a short time
10. Place back in the oven and broil for 4-5 minutes (to melt cheese, but watch that the crust doesn’t burn too badly)
11. Cut and enjoy!
