Pizza with Cauliflower Crust

Preparation: 15 mins 
Cook: 45 min
Total:  60 mins
Challenge Protein Servings:  Depends on how much cheese you put in. And how many slices you eat from that for your daily protein servings.

Benefits & Notes: In my opinion, this is the tastiest low-sugar recipe for pizza. The photo above is what my wife baked for me in the “fast way” below.

Pay attention to the amount of cheese you consume here when calculating daily protein servings.

 

Ingredients
  • 1 pound / half a kilo of cauliflower florets
  • 1 large egg
  • Pizza sauce from our recipes (avoid commercial pizza sauce)
  • 1/3 cup soft goat cheese or grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Any vegetables you want: mushrooms, olives, onion, fresh chili, bell pepper.
  • Condiments (optional): 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
  • Olives sliced – green/black
  • Sliced onion white/ red
  • Optional toppings: Low-fat mozzarella, goat cheese, anchovies – take into account protein servings.
  • Optional: Rocket leaves
Directions – The Fast Way

We skip the pre-cooking and liquid filtering of the cauliflower. We simply wash it and put right into the food processor. The eggs and parmesan stick everything together.

We save step 1 and step 3 below.

 
Another trick is using frozen cauliflower which saves step 1.
 

Direction – The Full Way

  1. Bring the water to a boil and a large pot and add salt.
    Add the cauliflower and boil for about 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender.
  2. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cauliflower to a food processor.
    Process until smooth and uniform.
  3. Removing moisture: transfer it to a clean, thin dishtowel. Wrap up the processed cauliflower in the dishtowel, twist it up, then squeeze the excess moisture out into a bowl/sink.
  4. In a large bowl, mix up the processed cauliflower, egg, 1/3 cup soft goat cheese or grated Parmesan, 1/3 teaspoon salt, and spices.
  5. Hit the oven for 200C / 400F
  6. Press the dough onto baking paper. Creating a round circle.
  7. Bake for 20-30 minutes until dry and golden. Flip to the other side for 10 minutes more.
  8. Take out. Smear the pizza sauce from our recipes.
  9. Add the toppings: vegetables, cheese, etc. Pay attention to the protein servings.
  10. Cook at 200C/400F for 5-10 minutes.
  11. Optional: To make the pizza more crunchy, cool off the pizza for about 10 minutes on a wire rack to allow the steam at the bottom to release.
  12. Spread the rocket leaves on top. Enjoy!
