I know, I know, I'm a little obsessed with pizza crusts, but they are so many different varieties and ways to make them great! I promise this will be the last one I blog, at least for a while:) This was just so surprisingly good that I wanted to share. I was completely unaware that cauliflower pizza crust even existed until a couple weeks ago, I was searching for one recipe and stumbled onto this one. This crust, to me, is an easy and figure friendly alternative to an everyday pizza crust. It does not have the same texture or feel as regular crust, but holds together well and is just something a little different....and sometimes you just need different:) My son actually eats this without noticing the difference....however,it is not husband approved. He liked it, but all in all would rather have my regular gf crust.I can't hold it against him, my regular one is very yummy! So let's just call this crust what it is and be done with it.....a girlie crust. Don't try to sneak this under your pizza loving husbands nose, cuz he will notice, but for us ladies, it's a winner! I think this would make a great appetizer or you may even be able to pass it off as a snack for the kiddos:) Try it, it can't hurt!
Makes 1 crust
2c. riced cauliflower (to do this simply pulse cauliflower in a food processor until it's crumbly and fine.)
1 egg
1c. almond meal
1/2tsp. sea salt
Steam the riced cauliflower for about 5 minutes until slightly tender. Then drain onto a dishtowel, and squeeze all the excess liquid out. This is the most important step, do not skip it!! The cauliflower must be dry!
Mix all ingredients together, once mixed, place on a parchment lined baking sheet and work crust into a 8-9 in. circle or square, whatever you want. It doesn't have to be perfect, just make sure it's not too super thin or super thick. Bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes or until slighty browned. Top with desired toppings and then place under a broiler just to melt any cheese. Voila! Please excuse the pic, this was a diving attempt to get a quick shot before the rest was devoured:) But you get the idea:)
