Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 6 tablespoons Water
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles fine rice.
Transfer the processed cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes to soften.
Allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible to prevent a soggy crust.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with water. Stir well and let it sit for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, flaxseed mixture, nutritional yeast, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a flat, circular crust, pressing down firmly to ensure an even thickness.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until it is golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding your favorite vegan toppings.
Return the topped crust to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until toppings are heated through.
Slice and serve the vegan cauliflower crust pizza warm.
