Step 2

Place cauliflower in a food processor or blender; pulse until broken down into grains the size of rice. Spread on a baking sheet.
Step 3

Roast in the preheated oven until soft, about 10 minutes.
Step 4

Transfer softened cauliflower to a large bowl; add almond flour, eggs, oregano, thyme, and rosemary. Stir well until dough pulls into a ball.
Step 5

Dust a pizza pan with flour; spread dough on the pan with a spatula to form the crust.
Step 6

Bake crust in the preheated oven until golden brown and edges are crispy, about 20 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Cauliflower may also be softened in the microwave for 4 minutes.

Flax eggs may be substituted for eggs.

Other flours may also be used in place of almond flour. Wheat flour will result in a crust with a more stable consistency.

This was much better than I expected and helped keep the overall calorie count lower on our pizza. I added some garlic powder, a quarter cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and a tablespoon of dried Italian dressing (like the kind you make yourself from a packet). Overall, very tasty and satisfying. Held up well. Texture was good- a tad spongy but not bad. I’ll totally make it again. Read More

My crust was soggy but tasty. I will try it again and cook it longer @ a higher temp. I filled my pizza crust 8 hrs. Before I cooked it so the filling probably contributed to the moist crust too. Read More

I proof 3 T yeast in a little water and sugar and add that, along with about 1 T baking powder. Then I increase the flour a bit to compensate. I put the dough into a huge preheated oiled cast iron pan and bake it that way. I would recommend figuring out the number of cups of riced cauliflower to use. Some cauliflower heads are much bigger than others. Read More

The taste was good but even dusting a pizza pan with flour didn't stop it from sticking. I think parchment paper would help to prevent sticking. I topped mine with white pizza sauce (from Allrecipes) along with ricotta Italian sausage pancetta mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Read More

This crust was the closest thing to "normal" pizza crust I've had, the consistency was very satisfying like a traditional bread but without the heavy carb load. I good after eating this instead of all bogged and bloated. Much more satisfying pizza alternative than the low-carb shredded chicken crusts. Important to really spread your cauliflower out so it can dry in the oven. Read More
