Crispy Cauliflower Crust Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Special equipment: a pizza stone and peel or two rimless baking sheets
• Place a pizza stone or rimless baking sheet in the oven; preheat to 475 degrees F.
• Add the cauliflower to a food processor; pulse until finely ground, about the consistency of couscous. Pour the cauliflower onto a clean kitchen towel (I like flour sack towels for this) and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
• To a large bowl, add the cauliflower, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, some black pepper and the egg. Mix until the mixture holds together when pinched.
• Line a pizza peel or a second rimless baking sheet with parchment paper; liberally brush with olive oil. Spread the cauliflower mixture into a 12-inch-wide circle on the parchment. Slide the parchment onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake until the cauliflower crust is barely golden and darker at the edges, about 15 minutes.
• Remove the crust from the oven, sprinkle with the mozzarella and spread the marinara sauce over the top (this keeps the crust dry). Slide the pizza back onto the pizza stone or baking sheet and bake until bubbly and browned in spots, about 4 minutes.
• Scatter the basil over the top. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a food processor, process cauliflower until finely chopped.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, cook cauliflower for five minutes or until tender. Using a juicer, squeeze out the moisture from the cauliflower a little bit at a time. Alternately, place cauliflower in a towel, and squeeze out excess water so it is completely dry.
• In a bowl, mix cauliflower, salt, baking powder, oregano, eggs, and garlic, until well-combined.
• NOTE: everyone but me seems to be able to use parchment paper without it sticking. In my experience, no matter what I do, it sticks like glue. Using a Silpat sheet works perfectly.
• On a Silpat (or parchment-lined baking sheet), spread cauliflower dough out until it resembles a pizza (round or square). Make sure the crust is at least ½" thick. Pinch the edges up to contain sauce to be added later. Bake for 40 minutes.
• Top however you want and bake in a 450°F oven for 7 minutes or until cheese and toppings have baked.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500˚F (260˚C).
• Remove the leaves and stem of the cauliflower.
• Transfer pieces to a food processor and rice the cauliflower by pulsing it in the food processor, or by shredding it on a box grater.
• Once riced, transfer to a large bowl and microwave for 4 minutes. Let it cool down for a few minutes before handling!
• Transfer cooked cauliflower to a clean towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.
• Place wrung cauliflower in a bowl and combine with mozzarella, oregano, basil, salt, garlic powder, and an egg. Mix well.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place cauliflower mixture in the middle. Spread out the mixture and form a circle out of the cauliflower mixture, pushing along the edge to raise a "crust."
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust has become golden brown in the center and on the edges.
• Top with your favorite pizza sauce and toppings, being careful not to overload the pizza.
• Bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese has fully melted.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place cauliflower pieces through the feeding tube of the food processor using the grating blade; pulse until all the cauliflower is shredded.
• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add cauliflower, cover, and steam until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until cooled, about 15 minutes.
• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
• Stir Italian cheese blend, parsley, egg, garlic, salt, and pepper into cauliflower until evenly incorporated. Pour mixture onto the prepared baking sheet; press and shape into a pizza crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
