To Bake Pizza
- Top as desired with cheese and toppings. Bake 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Notes
- Ensure the cauliflower is squeezed as dry as possible.
- Shred your own cheese, pre-shredded cheeses have additives that can affect the recipe.
- The crust must be baked before adding toppings.
- To flip pizza crust, line a large pan or platter with parchment paper. Plate the pan over the crust and flip it over. Remove the original parchment paper (which will now be on top of the crust) and bake.
- This recipe takes a bit of time. It can be doubled or tripled and extra crusts can be baked and frozen for future use.
- Nutrition information is for the crust only and does not include any toppings.
