- 1/2 medium head cauliflower (4 cups small florets)
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder or 2 1/2 tbsp ground flax or chia
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup flour (spelt, white, oat, or almond all work)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder and optional 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
To make cauliflower pizza crust, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using flax or chia, whisk with the water and refrigerate for at least a half hour. Steam cauliflower florets until fall-apart soft. Drain fully. Stir the flour with the oregano, garlic, salt, and baking powder (if using). Preheat the oven to 450 F. Once cauliflower cools, place it in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth over a sink or bowl. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. At least 2/3 cup water should come out. You want it as dry as possible. Place the dry cauliflower into a bowl and add the 1/4 cup water or the flax mixture. Mash and stir well. Stir in the flour mixture. Form into a ball or mini balls. Place on the baking sheet. Pat into a circle, then use another sheet of parchment on top and use a rolling pin or can to spread the circle to about a fourth inch thick. Take off the top sheet of parchment. Bake 25 minutes, or until the cauliflower pizza crust is lightly browned with crispy edges. Add toppings of choice. Bake an additional eight minutes. Allow to cool five minutes. Slice and enjoy!View Nutrition Facts
