Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Cauliflower Pizza Crust:

Ingredients:

1 Medium head cauliflower

1 small egg, beaten

1 cup mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon cornmeal ( optional)

pinch of salt

Parchment paper

pizza stone or baking sheet

cheesecloth or tea towel

Directions:

Pulse batches of cauliflower until you achieve a rice like texture ( you don't want to over pulse to puree- so air on the side of larger pieces vs puree) looking for a rice like texture. One medium head of cauliflower should yield about 4 cups of "cauliflower rice"

Microwave 4 cups riced cauliflower for about 8-10 minutes or until soft. Alt method, bake for 15 minutes.

Allow the rice to cool .

Once rice is cool scoop it into cheesecloth and begin to squeeze the moisture out. You will have to do this in two or three parts. Once you have squeezed most of the moisture from the rice place in a separate bowl for mixing.

Add in 1 cup mozzarella, 1 beaten egg, 2 Tbsp parmesan, pinch of salt. If your rice is still really wet ( not crumbling in your fingers) you will need to add cornmeal here in order to achieve a "crispy crust" optional, however, it works like a dream!

Combine all ingredients and roll into a ball. Place ball of dough on parchment paper and shape in to crust about 1/3 inch thick. Round, square, triangle, you decide.

Bake crust in 450 oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.

Top with your favorite pizza sauce and toppings, return to oven and bake 10 minutes or until toppings are cooked.

Enjoy this gluten free, veggie packed, low carb delight!!
