You are eating a ton of vegetables and you would not even know. I imagine this is the kind of thing moms get really amped about feeding to their kids. Maybe it’s right for you if you’re looking for a grainless option as well. Update from 2022: as I’ve revisited this article since its original posting. This is such a 2012 post to me, when we were all really into cauliflower pizza crust. That, and figuring out different ways to use quinoa.
CAULIFLOWER PIZZA CRUST
Serves 4
4 heads of cauliflower, de-stemed and chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flake
1 cup parmesan, grated
1 cup mozzarella, shredded
4 eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pulse cauliflower in food processor until uniformly chopped into small granules. (I worked in batches). Microwave cauliflower for four minutes. Allow cauliflower to cool and place in the center of a dish cloth. Wring thoroughly, removing as much water from the cauliflower as you can. Transfer cauliflower to bowl and stir together with salt, basil, oregano, garlic powder, red pepper flake, parmesan, mozzarella, and eggs. Divide dough into four balls and roll out onto baking sheets, about 1/4 inch thick. Drizzle crust with olive oil. Bake for 11-13 minutes, until golden brown. Add sauce and toppings. Bake for 9-11 more minutes.
