Equipment
- Measuring Spoons and Cups
- Food Processor
- baking sheet
- Kitchen Towel
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower head
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- pizza toppings
Instructions
- Rinse off a cauliflower head and break it into tiny sections. Then, in batches, pulse it in the food processor until all of the big chunks are gone. This will make a mess no matter how careful you are. Just be prepared for little cauliflower flakes everywhere.
- Now, cook the cauliflower. Boil a few inches of water. Then, add the cauliflower and cook for 4 - 5 minutes.
- After that, strain all of the liquid. Then, let it sit and cool down for a few minutes.
- This step is very important! Be sure to get out as much liquid as you can from the cauliflower. Dump the cauliflower on a clean, dry towel. Pull up the edges, and wring out all of the excess water. This will take several times of wringing out. Caution - the water may still be pretty hot.
- Place the cauliflower in a bowl and mix in 1 egg, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and (optional) 1/4 cup cheese or fake cheese. Or, add whatever spices you normally like in your pizza dough.
- Mix the ingredients. The fastest, easiest way is to just use your hands.
- Form the dough into a ball.
- Place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Form the dough into a round or rectangular crust about 1/4 inch thick. This will make one medium sized crust or 2 smaller crust. I made 2 small crusts.
- Bake at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes.
