Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cauliflower Pizza Base.
Step 1
Start by grabbing your food processor and grating the cauliflower until it resembles tiny grains or rice.
Step 2
This step is key to creating a deliciously light pizza crust.
Step 3
Next, bring a saucepan of water to a boil and place a steamer insert inside.
Step 4
Add the grated cauliflower, cover it up, and let it steam for about 15 minutes until it’s nice and tender.
Step 5
Once it’s done, transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl and pop it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to cool down, giving it a stir now and then to help it along.
Step 6
While that’s chilling, preheat your oven to a toasty 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
Step 7
When the cauliflower is cool, mix in a generous handful of shredded Italian cheese blend, some freshly chopped parsley, an egg, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Step 8
Stir everything together until it’s well combined and you can almost smell the deliciousness.
Step 9
Now, spread the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a crust that’s just the right thickness.
Step 10
Slide it into your preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is beautifully golden brown.
Step 11
Your kitchen will smell amazing, and soon you’ll have a delightful cauliflower pizza crust ready to be topped with your favorite ingredients! Enjoy the process and savor the delicious results!.
