1.5 pounds cauliflower, florets | |
1/2 cup shredded cheese, or 1/3 cup soft cheese | |
1 egg, beaten | |
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning | |
salt and pepper, to taste | |
Pesto Chicken Pizza | |
1/3 cup pesto sauce | |
1/2 cup shredded chicken | |
3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded | |
2 cups (packed) baby spinach | |
2 garlic cloves, minced | |
Margherita Pizza | |
1/3 cup marinara sauce | |
4 oz mozzarella ball, sliced | |
fresh basil leaves | |
red pepper flakes (optional) |
1. | Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. |
2. | Remove the cauliflower florets from the stem or use frozen and thawed cauliflower florets. Grate them using a food processor or box grater. |
3. | Add the cauliflower rice to a microwave safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 4-5 minutes to soften. Alternatively, you could saute the cauliflower rice in a pan on medium heat on the stove for 8-10 minutes. Then let it cool to the touch. |
4. | Transfer the cauliflower rice into a nut milk bag or thin kitchen towel. Drain the cauliflower by squeezing it until all the excess moisture is out. Squeeze as hard as you can! |
5. | Place the drained cauliflower rice in a large mixing bowl. Add the cheese, egg and seasonings. Use your hands to mix everything together to form the pizza dough |
6. | On a parchment lined baking sheet, press the dough dough down into an even circle. The diameter should be around 9 inches. If you have a pizza stone, that's even better and will produce a crispier crust. |
7. | Bake for 25 minutes, or until slightly golden, then remove from oven. You could also bake for 20 minutes and flip the crust over, then bake an additional 5-10 minutes for an even crispier crust. |
8. | Add the toppings and bake for an additional 10 minutes. |
