If you’re looking for a gluten-free and low-carb alternative to traditional pizza crust, look no further than this cauliflower pizza crust recipe. Not only is it a healthier option, but it’s also surprisingly easy to make.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs cauliflower florets, about 6 cups
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 egg, beaten
Procedure:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Add the cauliflower florets to a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped, resembling rice.
- Place the cauliflower rice in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, or until the cauliflower is cooked and tender. Let it cool for a few minutes.
- Using a cheesecloth or a clean dish towel, squeeze out as much water as you can from the cooked cauliflower rice.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, cream cheese, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and beaten egg.
- Mix all the ingredients until they are well combined and form a dough.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the cauliflower dough on top. Flatten the dough using your hands or a rolling pin, shaping it into a circle or rectangle (depending on your preference).
- Bake the crust for 25-30 minutes, or until it turns golden brown and crispy around the edges.
- Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired toppings, such as tomato sauce, cheese, vegetables, or meat.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot. Enjoy your guilt-free pizza!
