Cauliflower Pizza Crust
November 3, 2015
Half of you are most likely cringing, but I promise you don’t let the cauliflower turn you away because after all this is PIZZA!
You can’t turn away from pizza, it’s a life rule.
So the question is, why cauliflower for the crust? Let’s just cut to the good stuff- cauliflower is an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6. It is a very good source of choline, dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, manganese, phosphorus, and even biotin. Additionally, it is also a good source of vitamin B2, protein, vitamin B1, niacin, and magnesium.
So the question really is why NOT cauliflower? Those who are either going gluten free, or trying to cut down on gluten you’ve been diving into alternatives for awhile now. A mix and match of gluten free flours is very intimidating but once you find the right one for you, it’s not so bad. Even still, I’ve been up to my eyeballs in alternative flours and sometimes it’s just not what I want! New taste, new texture, something different, and it must be pizza! Yes I was craving pizza, come on who doesn’t crave it?
On to the recipe, it really isn’t hard to make, I throw all of it into a food processor to cut out steps. Use a cheesecloth to squeeze extra liquid out otherwise it won’t cook well, but it’s really easy to make- Promise!

This sounds so amazing! I was just diagnosed with pre-diabetes and I need to lower my carb intake. This would be perfect for me.

That actually sounds really good, I had no idea you could use cauliflower as a crust! What a healthy option – low carb too!

I’ve seen this before, but have yet to make it. I would really like to try it one day. It seems like it’s a great alternative to a regular pizza crust.

This is such a great idea. I’d love being able to make a pizza with all vegetarian/ gluten-free ingredients.

I love cauliflower pizza. I made it topped with my favorite veggies and it quickly became my favorite – so easy to make and so healthy. I can not wait to try your recipe out – it is slightly different than mine.
