Submitted by Late Night Gourmet

"Adding flour and baking powder makes they typically soggy cauliflower pizza crust rise and crisp up more like a regular pizza crust."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 15mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1 large cauliflower
• 1⁄2 cup flour
• 2 eggs
• 2 garlic cloves, diced
• 1 tablespoon dry oregano
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 4 ounces light mozzarella cheese
• 1⁄2 cup pizza sauce

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. In a food processor, process cauliflower until finely chopped.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, cook cauliflower for five minutes or until tender. Using a juicer, squeeze out the moisture from the cauliflower a little bit at a time. Alternately, place cauliflower in a towel, and squeeze out excess water so it is completely dry.
4. In a bowl, mix cauliflower, salt, baking powder, oregano, eggs, and garlic, until well-combined.
5. NOTE: everyone but me seems to be able to use parchment paper without it sticking. In my experience, no matter what I do, it sticks like glue. Using a Silpat sheet works perfectly.
6. On a Silpat (or parchment-lined baking sheet), spread cauliflower dough out until it resembles a pizza (round or square). Make sure the crust is at least ½“ thick. Pinch the edges up to contain sauce to be added later. Bake for 40 minutes.
7. Top however you want and bake in a 450°F oven for 7 minutes or until cheese and toppings have baked.
