Cauliflower Pizza Crust Adds Veggies to a Guilty Pleasure
In spite the fact cauliflower crust is hard to pick up, the flavor is delicious.
Loading ...However, it can turn out to be pretty good. This year, in a FACS class, the students were learning about fruits and vegetables and the teacher decided to do something that had never been done before in a FACS class: cauliflower pizza crust.
A cauliflower pizza was one of the weirdest things that I had ever heard of. I was very curious of how it was made. We started with putting some cauliflower in a food processor, after that we put it in a mixing bowl along with some other ingredients and mixed it all together.
When all the ingredients are mixed together, we were left with some type of pasty stuff, we spread it out into the shape of a pizza crust and baked it for 15 minutes at 450 degrees.
After the crust was done baking, we added pizza sauce and pepperonis.
Any pizza toppings would be awesome on this type of pizza crust. The texture is not the best, it fell apart and was hard to pick up.
The pizza tastes similar to pizza crust but it is made almost entirely out of cheese and cauliflower. It is super easy to make and can be done in a short amount of time. This pizza is very simple and tastes amazing. The texture is a bit strange, it falls apart when it is held, so a fork would be recommended.
Ingredients:
Cauliflower: a large head of cauliflower, 6″ – 7″ in diameter, about 2.5 – 3 lbs.
Egg: Egg is part of “the glue” that holds cauliflower pizza dough together.
Cheese: As cheese melts during baking, it helps to bind small pieces of cauliflower into a crust. Cheese is crucial! So is the egg. Sorry cannot be vegan.
Spices: Simple dried herbs like oregano, basil or Italian mix plus salt and pepper add flavor to the crust. Cauliflower itself is pretty bland. Also you can add garlic powder
