Today I decided to try something new in the kitchen. (After visiting Alberti and hearing how he does blogs on his recipes, I thought I would try it too).
I saw a number of videos on YouTube about making pizza crust with cauliflower, so I decided to try it! I looked at a number of different versions, decided what I needed, and went to the grocery store.
So then I put all of the ingredients together as you see here. Ignore the chicken, I changed my mind on that! I started by cutting up a while head of cauliflower and "riced" it in the Vitamix. (This was my first time trying it. I did a half at a time, next time I would do a quarter at a time).
I put the riced cauliflower in the microwave for 8 minutes.
Then I mixed in 2 cups of grated cheese, mostly mozzarella and a little Parmesan. I added 2 eggs, some onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Next I mixed it up into a dough-like consistency and put it on an oiled cookie sheet.
I used a large spoon to smooth it out flat like a pizza crust, and put it in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes. (Next time I would use parchment paper and leave it in longer so it would be a little bit more done).
I took it out and put a store bought pizza sauce, red onion, red and green pepper, green olives, and cheese on it.
I put it back in the oven for about 12 minutes. I didn't think it was browned enough and put it on broil, got distracted, and burned the edges!! But it was still good!
It set up a little more pizza-like as it cooled and became easier to pick up and eat. I have to say, I am surprised....it was really good! I'd show you another picture now, but it's all gone! :)
This is a great alternative for pizza if you want to have lower carbs, or are gluten free :)
Enjoy!
