A good friend of mine mentioned "cauliflower" pizza to me. I love cauliflower...but in our family of 4, I am the only one. I bought a head of cauliflower a week or so ago with making it, but hadn't gotten around to it until today. Both kids were at school, so Nick was going to be my taste tester. I am pleasantly surprised with the outcome. There is a very, very mild cauliflower taste to it. Not enough for anyone to go "this is cauliflower, isn't it?" If you didn't know that I used cauliflower to make it, you really wouldn't know by the taste. The one thing that was different about it was you need a fork to eat it. It doesn't get as hard of a crust as a regular pizza, but I'm okay with not having messy pizza hands. :)
Ingredients:
1 Head of cauliflower
1 Cup mozzerella cheese
1 Egg, beaten
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp granulated garlic
Olive oil to drizzle
(any pizza toppings you want, pizza sauce, cheese for the top)
Directions:
*Chop all the flowerettes off of the cauliflower. Place them into a blender or mixer.
*Once all of it is into the tiny cauliflower granules, put it into a microwave safe bowl.
*Cook the cauliflower in the microwave for 8 minutes. Still every 2 minutes throughout the cooking.
*Pre-heat your oven to 450*F.
*On a pizza pan (or any baking sheet really), place a piece of parchment paper.
*When the cauliflower is done cooking, pour it into a bowl (one medium head of cauliflower will make right around 1 cup of "grain" type cauliflower). Add the egg, spices, and mozzarella cheese into the bowl with the riced cauliflower.
*Mix it all up.
*Pour the dough onto your parchment paper on the baking sheet.
*With your hands, push the dough out and flatten it into your pizza shape.
*Drizzle with olive oil.
*Bake at 450*F for 15 minutes.
*Once the crust is cooked, add your sauce, toppings, and cheese. I HIGHLY suggest cooking your sauce and toppings before adding them on because your pizza will not be in the over long enough to heat through.
*Turn the "broil" on your oven on.
*Put your pizza with toppings and cheese into the oven. Cook for about 4 minutes. You only want to cook it until the cheese is melted.
*Careful cutting the pizza and placing it onto the place (remember how I said it isn't as hard of a dough as a regular pizza?) Enjoy!
