Mozzarella & Mushroom Cauliflower Crust Pizza

This cauliflower pizza crust is sensational—a delicious, gluten-free, and healthy alternative for those cutting back on flour-based foods. But this pizza is not just for people on a gluten-free diet – trust me, you’ll love it as much as your regular flour-based pizza crust.

The crust is extremely easy to make and requires no kneading, of course. You can top it with just about anything you like – I choose mushrooms & mozzarella and a fantastic homemade pizza sauce, but feel free to experiment with other delicious ingredients.

Now let me show you how easy it is to make. Please find the detailed recipe below.

1x2x3x

• 1 large cauliflower
• 200 g crumbled or grated cheese you can use a variety of cheeses like salted feta cheese, goat cheese, cheddar or parmesan
• 300 ml tomato sauce
• 300 g mozzarella
• 100 g sliced mushrooms
• Fresh basil

Instructions

 

• In a large saucepan, cook the cauliflower until soft and the florets are easy to pull apart (at least 15 minutes).
• Drain the cauliflower well as follows: place the cauliflower in a clean cloth and squeeze firmly enough to get all the liquid out. If the cauliflower is cooked well enough, the florets will come apart easily, like crumbly dough.
• Add crumbled or grated cheese and mix. Squeeze gently with your hands, as you would a dough.
• Divide the dough in two (if you want to make 2 smaller pizzas, if not you can use it all for one pizza).
• Spread the dough into circles on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Press gently on the edges to get rid of any small cracks.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes at 200 ºC/390 °F in a preheated oven.
• Once golden and brown, remove the pizza crust from the oven and add the toppings: tomato sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms and basil.
• Bake for another 10 minutes at 200ºC/390°F or until the mozzarella has melted.
• Allow to cool for 3-5 minutes before slicing, the slices will still be slightly soft but will harden as they cool.

I simply love cooking and talking about food and recipes so much so that I dropped my successful corporate advertising career five years ago to become a full-time food blogger. And I couldn't be happier. What excites me? Sharing flavors that transport me back to my childhood, using the tricks I learned from my mom for preparing treats, and experimenting with new ingredients while exploring the forgotten corners of local (and beyond) gastronomy.
