Making up the words: Cauliflower Pizza with Coconut Flour

I made pizza….

It was really yummy y’all.

I mean it was really good. And that's why I had to really get in there and give you respectable close up. I thought you deserved that.

I have always been a fan of cauliflower pizza. I started making It when I came to the realization that my guts didn’t feel like they were going to fall out when I didn’t eat gluten. I recently came across a recipe for a pizza crust made of coconut flour. I had no idea that was option! It got my brain going. Why don’t I merge the two? And so that’s what I set out to do.

First I gathered my ingredients. For the crust I used Cauliflower, Coconut Flour, 2 Eggs, Shredded mozzarella Cheese, Dried Basil, Dried Oregano, Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning, Red Pepper Flakes, and Himalayan Pink Salt (just because that's my favorite type of salt, but any will work). My toppings are also pictured above. I love me some spinach, onions, and peppers. But feel free to use whatever toppings you have in your kitchen!

Next I placed cauliflower florets into my ninja and blended them until they looked like a fine rice consistency. Then I poured them into a microwave safe bowl and microwaved them for 5-7 minutes. Allow cauliflower to cool for 10-12 minutes. Do not touch it while it's hot. It will burn your hands off, for serious!

Once it's cooled, place it in a clean, kitchen towel. And wring it out for for-ev-er! My cauliflower rendered roughly about a cup of water. And just a word of caution, once you put the cauliflower back in the bowl, go ahead and toss that towel in the laundry.

I'll give you time...Go do it now. Because that bad boy will stink up your entire house. It'll smell bad - Bad like feet. So make sure you wash it in warm water! I learned that the hard way.! You're welcome!

Now is the time to go ahead and pre-heat your oven to 375 degrees. While it is pre-heating add mix the rest of your ingredients to crust. Stir in Coconut Flour, 2 Eggs, Shredded Mozzarella Cheese, Dried Basil, Dried Oregano, Garlic Powder, Italian Seasoning, Red Pepper Flakes, and Himalayan Pink Salt. Then spread your dough on oiled parchment paper or a pizza stone. Allow the crust to cook for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on it and the last few minutes you can place it under the broiler to get those wonderful crispy bubbles on top. I love those things, but they are totally optional. Check them out below!

While the crust is cooking you can begin preparing your toppings. You know what you like on your pizza. Isn't that really the great thing about pizza? just toss on your favorite things or whatever you have on hand. I had to use these peppers up, which was a stroke of luck, because I love peppers on my pizza!
