Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Cauliflower Pizza Crust



Ingredients

4 cups raw cauliflower rice
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup soft goat cheese (chevre)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
pinch of salt


Method

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400F, then get to work on your crust.

Step 2
Simply pulse batches of raw cauliflower florets in a food processor, until a rice-like texture is achieved.

Step 3
Fill a large pot with about an inch of water, and bring it to a boil. Add the “rice” and cover; let it cook for about 4-5 minutes. Drain into a fine-mesh strainer. Once you’ve strained the rice, transfer it to a clean, thin dishtowel. Wrap up the steamed rice in the dishtowel, twist it up, then SQUEEEEEEEZE all the excess moisture out! It’s amazing how much liquid will be released, which will leave you with a nice and dry pizza crust.

Step 4
In a large bowl, mix up your strained rice, beaten egg, goat cheese, and spices.

Step 5
Press the dough out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. (It’s important that it’s lined with parchment paper!)

Step 6
Keep the dough about 1/3″ thick, and make the edges a little higher for a “crust” effect, if you like.

Step 7
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 400F.
