cheltron's guide to the galaxy: Cauliflower pizza crust

I've been eating WAY more bread than I normally do. Tons of white flour too which is not the best for you. So for pizza today I tried out this cauliflower crust recipe & it came out sooo GOOD ! This recipe made 2 small pizzas, which was perfect for lunch. It was a bit time consuming - next time I'll probably double or triple the recipe & just freeze some crusts. All you need for 2 pizzas though is:

1 head cauliflower

1 large egg

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp ground pepper

1/2 cup parmesan or mozzarella (grated/shredded)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cut cauliflower into florets - then add to food processor & pulse until it resembles 'rice'. Spread onto baking tray & bake for 15 minutes

Once it's done baking - let cool & then scoop onto a cheesecloth lined bowl or into a nut milk bag (which is what I had) Now squeeze the shit out of it ! You should get about 3 cups of water out of it. The more water you can get out the better the crust will come out. Takes a minute but you do not want to skip this step ! Turn oven temp up to 450 degrees.

Then in a dry medium sized bowl, whisk the egg & spices together well - then add cauliflower & cheese - I used mozzarella but parmesan would work fine too.

Once everything is completely combined - press into circular crusts on a lightly greased parchment paper lined baking sheet. Then bake for 20 minutes (make sure the oven is at 450 degrees) - after 20 minutes is up flip them & let make for a couple minutes more.

While that's baking, get your toppings together. I cooked up some mushrooms & cut up kalamata olives & pepperoni. I also made some fresh pizza sauce with cooked cherry tomatoes & onion - spiced up with italian seasoning, salt & cayenne - then blended it with the immersion blender.
