HOW TO MAKE CAULIFLOWER PIZZA CRUSTIngredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup grated Italian cheese (I like Parmesan!)
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tsp Garlic Salt
• Black Pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Run raw cauliflower through your juicer, you will have a very dry & fine pulp which is the base of your crust. It should look similar to the pictures below.

2. Mix Cauliflower pulp with remaining ingredients

3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Press crust mixture onto parchment & shape into a pizza round.

4. Bake at 450 degrees until lightly browned, approximately 15 minutes

5. Remove from oven & top your cauliflower crust with traditional pizza toppings.  Reduce heat to 400 & bake pizza to desired doneness, usually 10-20 minutes.
