Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe in 5 Simple Steps
Description
The recipe starts by pulsing fresh cauliflower florets into a rice-like texture. After microwaving or steaming and thorough moisture removal, the cauliflower is mixed with egg, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. These ingredients bind the cauliflower and add flavor and structure.
The dough is shaped into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper and baked at a high heat until firm and golden. This creates a pizza crust that is crisp around the edges yet tender inside.
Topped with quick pizza sauce, more mozzarella, and preferred toppings, the crust offers a vegetable-forward base for a homemade pizza. Baking time and preparation ensure the crust holds toppings well.
