Why Choose Cauliflower Pizza Crust?

What You’ll Need

Let’s cut to the chase. Here’s everything you need to whip up your own pizza on cauliflower crust:

Ingredients:

• 1 medium head of cauliflower (or 3 cups riced cauliflower)
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional, for a lil’ heat)
• 1 tablespoon almond flour (optional, but helps with crispiness)

Step-by-Step Guide to a Perfect Gluten free cauliflower pizza crust

1. Prep Your Cauliflower

First things first—if you’re using a fresh head of cauliflower, chop it into florets and toss them into a food processor. Pulse until it looks like rice. No food processor? No problem. Just grab a grater and go to work.

Now, microwave the cauliflower rice for about 4-5 minutes. Let it cool, then place it in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is key! Nobody wants a soggy crust.

2. Mix It Up

In a bowl, combine your dried cauliflower rice, mozzarella, Parmesan, egg, and seasonings. Mix until everything is well combined. If it looks too wet, add a little almond flour.

3. Shape & Bake

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread your cauliflower mixture into a thin circle (about 1/4-inch thick). Don’t make it too thick, or it won’t get crispy.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and feels firm when pressed.

4. Top & Bake Again

Now the fun part. Add your favorite toppings—tomato sauce, more cheese, veggies, or some pepperoni if you’re feeling fancy. Pop it back in the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melty.

Boom. You just made a next-level cauliflower pizza crust.

Pro Tips for a Crispy Crust Cauliflower Pizza

• Get all that moisture out – The drier your cauliflower, the crispier your crust. Don’t skip the towel-squeezing step!
• Bake it first – Before adding toppings, let your crust bake solo. This keeps it firm.
• Parchment paper is your friend – It prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
• Don’t overload with toppings – Keep it light so your crust stays sturdy.

Is Pizza on Cauliflower Crust Actually Good?
