Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Cauliflower PizzaCrust 

Ingredients:

2 Heads of Cauliflower
1,1/2 Cups of Mozza Cheese (on our diet we have to use Cheddar Cheese)
1 tsp oregano (dried)
1 tsp basil (dried)
2 Eggs (beaten slightly)

Directions:

  1. Chop up the Cauliflower into bite sized pieces and put them in your food processor until rice sized.
  2. Put the ground up cauliflower into a pan on medium heat and saute it until translucent (it needs to be hot and change color)
  3. Meanwhile in a bowl beat the egg and oregano and basil together, then add the cheese.
  4. Have 2 cookie sheets ready with parchment paper on top (THE PARCHMENT PAPER IS IMPORTANT).
  5. Mix the hot cauliflower with the egg and cheese mixture. Mix until it's equally blended and the cheese is melted.
  6. Divide your dough onto the 2 trays equally.
  7. Pat with your hands until you are satisfied with the size and thickness of your crusts.
  8. In a preheated oven bake your crusts at 400 F for 25 minutes
  9. Take cooked crust out of the oven, hold the pan in one hand (it's hot so wear an oven mitt) and the parchment paper in the other. Pull the parchment paper off the pan sideways and when it looks like there is room flip the pizza crust onto the pan and peel the parchment paper off. This should be done very easily without anything falling apart.

NOTES:


  • IF YOUR CRUST IS TOO THIN IT WILL CRACK. 
  • If you notice a lot of liquid coming out of your dough when it's in the raw stage just mix the liquid back in (no big deal, it will be gone after cooking). 

WHEN OPENING YOUR OVEN TO CHECK ON THIS CRUST STAND BACK! IT'S VERY MOIST AND YOU WILL GET A HUGE CLOUD OF STEAM COMING UP AT YOUR FACE WHEN YOU FIRST OPEN THE OVEN DOOR.
