So i know that a lot of my friends LOVE this low-carb 'pizza'. There are lots of variety's on how to make this, but after experimenting around a little i found the way i like it with as little extra fat as possible! I added some toppings in mine but you can change the toppings to whatever you like!
Oh and one more thing...I like thin crust pizza, so i spread mine out very thin on the pizza tray. If you like a thicker crust don't spread it out as much and make it a smaller diameter!
Enjoy! <3
Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Yield: One 14 to
16-inch pizza (feeds 4 people)
Prep Time: 25 min Cook
Time: 18 min
ingredients:
CRUST:
1 LARGE head
cauliflower (about 3+ cups shredded cauliflower)
2 large eggs
1 1/2 finely shredded
fat free mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon dried
oregano
1 clove garlic (or 1/2
tsp minced garlic)
1/4 teaspoon onion
powder
salt and pepper to
taste
TOPPINGS:
3/4 cup tomato or
marinara sauce
1 cup crumbled low fat
feta or goat cheese
3 chorizo sausages
(skin removed and cooked crumbled)
1/2 cup sundried
tomatoes
directions:
1. Chop the cauliflower into smaller
florrets. Place 2-3 florrets in a food
proccessor to 'rice' the cauliflower into small crumbles. Be careful not to
puree. You'll need the whole cauliflower.
Place the cauliflower crumbles in a microwave safe bowl and microwave
them for 8 minutes. Do not add water.
2. Prepare the crust:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Spread a little olive oil or fat free butter
alternative on surface of pizza pan. In
a large bowl, mix the riced cauliflower with the remaining crust ingredients.
Spread the "crust" on the prepared pan. Spray the crust lightly with
nonstick spray and bake for about 15 minutes (or until golden depending on your
oven). Remove the crust from the oven and turn the heat up to broil high.
3. Prepare the pizza:
Spread the sauce on top of the baked crust, leaving a slight border around the
edge. Add the Chorizo crumbles and sundried tomatoes, spreading it evenly over
the pizza surface. Sprinkle the feta or
goat cheese on top. Broil the pizza 3 to 4 minutes, or until the toppings are
hot and the cheese is melted slightly.
(some Feta cheeses maintain their crumble shape even when melted). Cut
into 8 slices and serve immediately.
Pizza is hard to pick
up so it is best eaten with fork and knife
