Crispy Cauliflower Pizza Crust With Herbs
- Total Time: 55 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Description
Master a truly crispy, gluten-free cauliflower pizza crust infused with herbs. This veggie-packed base is perfect for healthy, flavorful pizza nights for the whole family.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 head Fresh Cauliflower, about 4 cups riced
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup / 60g Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- 1/4 cup / 28g Almond Flour
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Dried Basil
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep the Cauliflower: Wash and thoroughly dry a full head of cauliflower. Cut it into manageable florets, then pulse them in a food processor until the texture resembles rice. Be careful not to over-process into a mushy puree.
- Step 2: Cook and Drain Moisture: Transfer the riced cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 5-7 minutes until it’s tender. Let it cool slightly, enough to handle, then squeeze out ALL excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Step 3: Mix the Crust Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the thoroughly drained cauliflower rice, eggs, Parmesan cheese, almond flour, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything very well until a cohesive, workable ‘dough’ forms.
- Step 4: Form and Bake the Crust: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Press the cauliflower mixture evenly into a 10-12 inch circle, aiming for about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is beautifully golden brown and firm to the touch.
Notes
- Optional Add-ins: For an extra cheesy, umami flavor, add 2 tbsp of Nutritional Yeast. Feel free to experiment with other dried herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different aromatic twist.
- Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free version, use a high-quality vegan parmesan alternative and flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water per egg).
- Gluten-Free Flour Swaps: Oat flour or coconut flour can be substituted for almond flour, though you might need to adjust liquid slightly as they absorb differently.
- Quality Tip: Use fresh, firm cauliflower (avoid heads with dark spots) and good quality Parmesan for superior flavor and the best crispness.
- Troubleshooting: If the crust crumbles, it might be a bit too dry; try adding a tiny bit more egg or cheese next time. If it’s soggy, ensure you thoroughly drained all excess moisture from the cauliflower in Step 2.
