Notes: I wouldn't say this is necessarily a substitute to traditional pizza crusts (it doesn't taste just like pizza dough), but it is a very good healthy alternative. It has a slight roasted cauliflower flavor that is really delicious. It does stick quite a bit so spray with non-stick cooking spray generously. This recipe could be easily varied by using different cheese, dried seasonings, and toppings. Needs to be doubled for our family of 3.
Serves 1-2.
1/2 large head of cauliflower (about 2 cups when grated)
1 large egg
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon dried italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Pizza toppings
Grate cauliflower using a finer-holed cheese grater. Place in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 8 minutes (microwave them dry--don't add water). Let cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a cookie sheet or pizza pan generously with nonstick spray. In a medium bowl, mix the cooked and grated cauliflower with the remaining ingredients. Form the crust into a 9-12 inch round on the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden. Remove the crust from the oven.
Turn oven up to broil. Top crust with desired pizza toppings. Broil the pizza for 3-4 minutes, or until the toppings are hot.
