Cauliflower pizza crust

Ingredients
  • 1 head (Small Head) Cauliflower
  • ¼ cups Parmesan Cheese (I omit this as I don't eat dairy but by all means enjoy!!)
  • ¼ cups Mozzarella Cheese ( I used vegan cheese and it is delicious)
  • ¼ teaspoons Pink Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Basil
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Oregano
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
  • 1 whole Egg 
  • Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. 
2. Wash cauliflower then trim the off the stems. I mostly just used the heads and left the stems.

3. Place into a food processor and pulse until it is fluffy like snow.
4. Place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 6 - 8 minutes depending on how hot your microwave gets.
5. Place the cauliflower into a dish towel and hold over the sink. Ring out the dish towel to remove all of the moisture from cauliflower. Be careful you need and oven mitt so you don't burn your hands. It's important to drain all of the excess water from the cauliflower as it will make for a crispier turnout.
6. Then place what’s left of the cauliflower into a bowl and mix with the egg, cheese, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and oregano and dried basil. Mix together with your hands. 7. Roll into a firm ball and place on a greased cookie sheet or pizza dish.
8. Gradually flatten out the ball into a circle that looks like a pizza. Bake for just a few minutes until it looks golden. I baked for about 15 min. checking it constantly to make sure it didn't burn. I like it very crispy.
9. Take it out and top it like a pizza. I kept it simple and did sauce and cheese. 
10. Put it back into the oven until the cheese is melted. Remove allow to cool and enjoy!
