Cauliflower Pizza Crust (Gluten Free)

Cauliflower Pizza Crust (Gluten Free)
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Serves: 6

A healthy, gluten-free alternative to traditional pizza crust that’s packed with vegetables and protein.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups finely processed/grated cauliflower florets
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp almond flour
  • 4½ flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed in 3 tbsp of water = 1 flax egg)
  • 4 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, but recommended because it adds a cheesy flavor)
  • 1 tsp unrefined salt
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven:

    • Preheat to 450°F (230°C)
    • Line large baking sheet(s) with parchment paper
  2. Prepare flax eggs:

    • Mix the flax eggs
    • Let sit in refrigerator for 10 minutes
  3. Process cauliflower:

    • Use food processor to finely chop cauliflower
    • Process until rice-like consistency (not mashed)
    • Measure 3 cups of processed cauliflower
  4. Make the dough:

    • Combine cauliflower and all other ingredients in large bowl
    • Mix to form a sticky, dough-like batter
  5. Form and bake crusts:

    • Portion ¾ to 1 cup of dough per pizza
    • Shape into small pies with slightly raised edges
    • Bake without toppings for 15-20 minutes at 230°C
    • Add toppings after initial bake
    • Switch rack positions and bake 10-15 more minutes
    • Crusts should be golden brown

Tips

  • Don’t over-process cauliflower - aim for rice-like texture
  • Makes approximately six 6-inch diameter crusts
  • Ensure flax eggs are properly set before mixing
  • Watch carefully during final bake to prevent burning
