Cauliflower Pizza

Whether you are Gluten Free, Carb Counting, or just trying to eat healthy, than this is the pizza for you. I originally found this recipe through Pinterest. There are a lot of recipes out there, but I think this one is pretty good especially for beginners. Cauliflower pizza can be delicious. This recipe will make one individual pizza. I usually eat half of it, and save the rest for the next day, and it's equally delicious. 

Cauliflower Pizza

Yield: 1 individual pizza
Time: A little under 40 minutes
Results: Delicious

Ingredients: 

For the Pizza Crust:
1 head cauliflower
1/3 Cup Mozzarella Cheese (I buy the block of cheese because it is cheaper than pre shredded)
About 1 Tablespoon of Italian Seasoning (or oregano, whatever floats your boat)*
A pinch of salt
1 egg

For the topping (For traditional cheese pizza):
About 1/2 cup pizza sauce or tomato sauce*
About a 1/2 cup of Mozzarella Cheese*
And whatever toppings you want (Precooked meat, Vegetables, etc.)

Stage One: Cauliflower Rice
PREHEAT OVEN TO 450 degrees
1. Wash the cauliflower and cut into flowerettes if they are not already precut. Let Caluiflower dry as much as it can. You can pat them down with paper towels or regular towels. 
I bought precut from Costco and used half of the bag.

2. Put cauliflower into a food processor (OR if you do not have a food processor, grate the cauliflower) until it looks similar to rice.

3. Put the "cauliflower rice" into a microwave safe bowl, cover, and heat for 7 minutes. 
4. Fluff the rice once it is done. (NOTE: At this stage, the cauliflower can be eaten as rice! You can use this recipe up to this point for Cauliflower Rice.

5. Put the "rice" into a tea cloth and squeeze the water out (Note: It WILL be hot. So wait. Be patient.) The crust will crisp better when the cauliflower is dryer.

Stage 2: Pizza Time
6. Put the cauliflower "rice" into a small to medium bowl. 
7. Add 1/3 cup mozerella cheese, one egg, and about 1 tablespoon italian seasoning. Mix.

8. Put the mixture on a greased pan (I used Pam) and shape however you would like.

9. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is starting to brown. YOU CAN STOP HERE IF YOU JUST WANT "BREAD" or "BREADSTICKS.

10. Take out, turn the oven off and turn the broiler on. Add toppings to pizza and put back into the oven until cheese is melted and bubbling. (I love sprinkling garlic salt on top of everything, it's delicious). 

11. Remove from the oven, let cool for about 5-10 minutes, cut, and ENJOY!

This can be reheated the next day. 

THIS RECIPE WAS ADAPTED FROM here, I just made my special changes!

Yes, it's a pain...but it's delicious. No, it's not the same as regular pizza, but it's pretty darn good!
