While I have always been a big fan of cauliflower pizza, I find the process of microwaving the cauliflower rice, forming it into a ball and rolling it out between wax paper a time consuming pain.


I promise this will be one of the best cauliflower pizza crust recipes that you will ever come across, not only are they foolproof to make, the base is incredibly sturdy and won’t self destruct in your hands. The cauliflower rice goes into the batter raw which means you can skip having to microwave it in batches and frustratingly spend time squeezing out every last drop of moisture.


A large muffin tin makes great 2-3 bite sized pizzas, but you could also use a mini muffin tin to make even smaller ones. This is also a great recipe to prepare with kids, as everything is contained within the muffin tins keeping mess to a minimum.


Two to three mini pizzas served with salad would make for a delicious healthy meal, or alternatively these would also be great appetizers to pass out at a party.


In this recipe I used a vatiety of toppings including sautéed mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, ham, red onion and salami but feel free to use any of your favourite pizza toppings.

Ingredients
  

Cauliflower Crust

  • 2 cups cauliflower rice approx 1 small cauliflower
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast (or parmesan for SCD)
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt and pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup almond flour

Suggested Pizza Toppings

  • Tomato Sauce
  • Fresh spinach
  • Sauteed Mushrooms
  • Ham
  • Grated Cheese
  • Basil
  • Chicken
  • Olives
  • Red onion

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit)
  • Cut the cauliflower into chunks and place in a food processor. Blend for approximately 1 minute until it becomes as fine as possible. Measure out two cups of the cauliflower and place in a bowl. Add in the remaining ingredients for the crust and stir together until well mixed.
  • Using a cooking spray or paper towel dipped in olive oil, grease each of the cups of the muffin tin
  • Place a spoonful of the dough mixture into each muffin cup and press down firmly so the crust is well packed in.
  • Bake the pizza crusts for 10-12 minutes in the oven until firm. After 10 minutes remove from the oven and gently press with your finger, they should hold together and be firm to the touch.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Using a knife, run it around the edges of each crust and loosen them from the bottom of the pan, this will ensure they are easier to remove later.
  • With the crusts still in the muffin tray, top each with tomato sauce and any topping of your choice.
  • Place the muffin tray back into the oven an allow to bake for a further 5 minutes until the cheese begins to bubble.
  • Once cooked, remove from the tray and serve warm.
