Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Arrowroot powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cut the cauliflower into florets, and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles fine crumbs, similar to rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice into a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes until soft. Let it cool slightly.
Once cooled, place the cooked cauliflower on a clean kitchen towel and wrap it up. Squeeze tightly to remove as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for a firm crust.
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it rest for 5 minutes until a gel-like consistency forms. This mixture acts as a binder.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, flaxseed mixture, almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Add olive oil to the mixture and stir to incorporate.
Transfer the cauliflower dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape and flatten the dough into a thin circle or rectangle, ensuring an even thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the crust is firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly before using it as a base for your favorite toppings.
