Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Sunday, March 23, 2014




The Lucky Penny  has created a gem of a recipe. 



This may truly be one of my favorite recipes, EVER.

And undoubtedly one of my favorite pizza recipes ever.



We followed her recipe nearly 100 percent, with the exception of not using onions in the sauce or adding the almond meal to the crust. 

We did add the crushed red pepper to the crust.

Because of extreme popularity of her recipe,
she requests that this recipe not be copied in full onto other sites.

 Therefore, I am sharing her page and this recipe with you HERE.


INGREDIENTS

1 small to medium sized head of cauliflower - should yield 2 to 3 cups once processed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil (crush it even more between your fingers)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (crust it even more between you fingers)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
optional a few shakes of crushed red pepper
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1 egg
optional 1 tablespoon almond meal


Here is our cauliflower crust pizza cooking experience via photos.

My husband set to work on the cauliflower crust.

I started on the sauce.

Then I began on prepping the veggies.

By this time, he placed the crusts in the over for 10 minutes, and 
then started on prepping the chicken. 


We did use the bloggers linked pizza sauce recipe.

It's essentially organic tomato sauce mixed with
 onion, garlic, oregano, basil, sea salt and a smidge of sugar.

You could use any pizza sauce.


For toppings, we decided to forgo our favorite chicken and pineapple.

We instead added chicken, bell peppers, sundried tomatoes, and mushrooms.


By the time the pizza finished cooking and cooling, we were famished.

And EXCITED.

Everything smelled so good.


The FLAVORS of the crust and sauce were incredible!

This isn't a type of pizza you can pick up and eat. 

You must cut it with a fork and it will fall apart.


However, it's safe to say this is one of the best crusts I've ever eaten.

We will surely be using this recipe in our home for years.

Hopefully our someday kids like cauliflower.

Good thing they'll never know...certainly doesn't taste like cauliflower.


Beyond thrilled to have added another "favorite" recipe to our mix.

We love to stay in and cook on Friday, so this is a great, healthy, clean addition.

Also ... you can find the link to her pizza sauce recipe HERE.


I hope you enjoy!

GOOD LUCK!
