Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe - Cauliflower Pizza "Dough" Recipe

Cut out the core of the cauliflower and break off the florets.

Place the florets into a food processor and pulse until finely ground.

Transfer the processed cauliflower into a sauté pan with a splash of water.

Cook the cauliflower on medium-high heat for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, and add a pinch of salt.

After cooking, turn off the heat and let the cauliflower cool down.

Transfer the cooled cauliflower into a clean napkin and squeeze out as much water as possible.

In a mixing bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower with cayenne pepper, freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano, fresh goat cheese, and 1 egg. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form the cauliflower mixture into a dough ball in the center of the parchment.

Press the dough out to about a quarter inch thick, optionally creating a crust edge with your fingers.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the crust for about 40 minutes, or until it looks firm and browned.

Let the crust cool slightly, then flip it over to firm up the other side.

Top the crust with pizza sauce, red pepper flakes, diced fresh mozzarella, slices of spicy salami, a pinch of oregano, and a light dusting of parmesan.

Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the topped pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are crisp.

Let the pizza cool for about 5 minutes on a wire rack before slicing.
