Cauliflower Pizza Crust

CRUST:
1/2 large head cauliflower (or 2+ cups shredded cauliflower)
1 large egg
1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese (I use low moisture, part-skim)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 clove fresh minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground sea salt

TOPPINGS:
Pizza sauce (I use the premade kind sold fresh in the WinCo Deli)
fresh pepperoni
fresh mushrooms
sliced black olives

CRUST:
1/2 LARGE head cauliflower (or 2+ cups shredded cauliflower)
1 large egg
1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese (or try another kind!)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried minced garlic (or fresh garlic)
1/2 teaspoon onion salt

TOPPINGS:
1/2 cup tomato-basil marinara sauce (i use sauce premade at the Winco deli)
1/2 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
toppings as desired

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 450. P

Grate the cauliflower into small crumbles. For this recipe, you will need 1/2 large head of cauliflower. (approximately 2 + cups of shredded cauliflower) Put the cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl (dry) and cook on high for 8 minutes. Allow cauliflower to cool.




Combine all crust ingredients. Spray a cookie sheet or pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray. Press "dough" into the pan until it covers evenly (fairly thin about 1/2")

Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes or until crust is golden.




Pull crust out of the oven, top with sauce, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese on top. Add desired toppings.




Turn on broiler and move up cooking rack.

Broil the pizza 3 to 4 minutes, or until the toppings are hot and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cut into 6 slices and serve immediately.




This is an "eat with a fork and love it" type of pizza. It doesn't really work to pick up and eat with your hands. But it is really, really yummy!
