Grain-Free Broccoli-Cauliflower Pizza Crust

INGREDIENTS (serves 8):

  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg white
  •  

    PREPARATIONS:

    1. Preheat oven to 450°F and place pizza stone in the oven to heat. If you don’t have a pizza stone, grab a baking sheet and set aside. On a cutting board, place a large piece of parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking oil and set aside.
    2. Place the riced cauliflower and riced broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2-3 minutes. Dump cooked cauliflower and broccoli onto a clean tea towel or cheese cloth and allow to cool for a bit before attempting the next step.
    3. Once cauliflower-broccoli mix is cool enough to handle, wrap it up in the towel/cheese cloth and wring it to squeeze out as much water as possible. This will ensure you get a chewy pizza like crust instead of a crumbly mess. (Alternatively, you can place the steamed cauliflower-broccoli mixture in a colander and push down on it with a towel to get the water out.
    4. Place the drained cauliflower-broccoli mixture into a bowl. Fold in remaining crust ingredients and mix until a “dough” is formed.
    5. Transfer the dough to the coated parchment paper. Using your hands form the dough into a thin circular crust.
    6. Slide the parchment paper onto your hot pizza stone in the oven. If using a baking sheet, slide parchment paper onto that and place in oven. Bake crust for 8-11 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown.
    7. Remove from oven and top as desired.
