Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe



Hello readers,

Join me in trying this revolutionary thin crust pizza recipe from Cauliflower (salute to whoever invented this idea of substituting cauliflower for actual dough). For those who love pizza but want to spare the guilt of putting on extra calories, this recipe is the bomb! I promise once you try it at home, you will devour it!



Ingredients:

Crust:
1/2 cauliflower head
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 egg
chili flakes
4 garlic cloves
salt/pepper

Basic topping:
Mozzarella cheese
Marinara sauce

Method:

1. Pre-heat oven to 430 F. Cut the cauliflower head into small pieces and pulse it in a food processor until the texture is dough like. Use a cheese cloth to drain all the excess water from the processed cauliflower.

2. Add an egg to the cauliflower and mix it well.  Now mix rest of the ingredients into the cauliflower dough.


3. Spray some oil to a parchment paper and place it on a baking sheet.
4. Spread the mixtures evenly on the parchment paper just like shown in the picture below.


5. Bake the mixture for 40-45 mins until it becomes golden brown. For extra crispy results, bake it a little while longer.
6. Now spread the marinara sauce, sliced mushrooms and mozzarella cheese to the dough. Put it back into the  oven just till the cheese melts. Lastly add some dried rosemary and chopped basil for freshness. You can use your favorite meats and veggies as toppings.
