Cauliflower Pizza Crust

I love, love, love pizza but eating it makes me feel completely guilty! Not anymore! The other night we made pizza for our family dinner using a crust made of cauliflower. At first I didn't think there was any way this was going to curb my cravings for the greasy carb infested college staple. I don't even like cauliflower! I WAS WRONG!!! This pizza crust is amazing! It taste pretty close to pizza crust you would buy at the store or order from your local pizza parlor! Give this a try this weekend and discover a way you can still have pizza! 

All you have to do is rice cooked cauliflower in a food processor or blender. You need a total of one cup per pizza crust. Add one egg and a cup of shredded Mozzarella cheese and blend until a dough forms. Press the dough onto a cookie sheet spitzed with olive oil spray in the desired shape. Sprinkle dough with desired seasonings (we tried dried Italian seasoning and minced garlic...it was delish). Bake for about 15 minutes at 450 degrees, or until golden brown. 

After its done you can top in with anything you like. I love topping mine with some light alfredo sauce, lean chicken, mushrooms, and spinach. Another favorite is turkey pepperoni, mushrooms, and green pepper. The options are literally endless! 

After you're done topping your pizza, stick it back in the oven under the broiler just until the cheese melts...then slice and enjoy!
