Cauliflower Crust Pizza



    Are you allergic or sensitive to gluten or baker's yeast? Since I discovered my allergy to yeast about 8 years ago, I have had to cut out all of my favorite foods: pizza, bagels, bread, even flatbread and pita bread. But nowadays, there are some amazing recipes out there for alternative versions of all the classics. This cauliflower crust pizza is right up my alley...and I score points for eating more veggies!





    Ingredients

    1 small to medium sized head of cauliflower - should yield 2 to 3 cups once processed
    1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/2 teaspoon dried basil (crush it even more between your fingers)
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (crust it even more between you fingers)
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    optional a few shakes of crushed red pepper
    1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
    1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
    1 egg
    optional 1 tablespoon almond meal


    Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and preheat oven to 425ºF.
      Grate the cauliflower using a box grater until you have two cups of cauliflower crumbles. Place in a large bowl and microwave for seven to eight minutes, or until soft. Remove from the microwave and let cool.
        Mix in the egg, one cup mozzarella, parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. Once combined, pat into a 10-inch round on the prepared pizza pan. Spray lightly with nonstick spray and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until golden.
          Top the pizza with the sauce, 1/4 cup mozzarella, grape tomatoes, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bake in the oven until melted and bubbly, another 10 minutes. Top with basil before serving.
