Cauliflower Crust Pizza
4 servings
45 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • ¼ cup water
  • Plastic wrap
  • Cheesecloth
  • ¾–1 cup gluten-free flour
  • ¾–1 cup potato flakes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • Parchment paper

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Turn baking sheet over (bottom side up) and lightly coat with spray*. Trim and finely grate cauliflower into a medium microwave–safe bowl (3 cups). Add ¼ cup water and cover bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH for 4–5 minutes, until al dente. Line a colander with cheesecloth and drain cauliflower. Gather cheesecloth and lightly squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.
    2. Combine in large bowl: cauliflower, ¾ cup gluten-free flour, ¾ cup potato flakes, salt, and pepper until blended; knead dough for 2–3 minutes (add more flour and potato flake to achieve a stiff dough, if needed). Place dough in between 2 sheets parchment paper and roll to a ¼-inch thick (12-inch-round) circle. Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet (or pizza stone).
    3. Bake 10–12 minutes, carefully remove from oven and add desired topping. Continue baking 10–12 more minutes until crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside to cool briefly; slice and serve.
    *if using pizza stone, add to oven while preheating. Sprinkle with cornmeal before topping stone with rolled out dough.
Topping suggestions: red pizza sauce, alfredo sauce, sliced grain sausage, sliced tomatoes, diced onion, and shredded dairy-free mozzarella cheese.
