Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (about 4 cups) Cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 5 tablespoons Water
- 1/2 cup Almond flour
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1/2 cup Dairy-free tomato sauce or pizza sauce
- 1 cup Favorite vegetables for topping (like bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions)
- 1/4 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the flaxseed egg by mixing the ground flaxseed with water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until thickened.
Grate the cauliflower florets using a box grater or a food processor until you form cauliflower rice.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for about 5 minutes, or until softened.
Let the microwaved cauliflower cool slightly, then place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, flaxseed egg, almond flour, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Mix well until a dough forms.
Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet, and form it into a pizza crust shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the crust for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the surface is firm.
Remove the crust from the oven and spread the dairy-free tomato sauce or pizza sauce over the top.
Add your favorite vegetables evenly across the sauce.
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are cooked to your liking.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
Slice and serve warm.
