Cauliflower Crust Ingredients:
- 1 bag washed cauliflower
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese (or ¼ mozzarella and ¼ parmesan cheese)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (not garlic salt)
- 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 egg

This
entire process would have been MUCH easier if I had a food processor…but
instead I used my hands/fist. If you
have a food processor then I recommend using it, the cauliflower should turn
into a “powdery snow.”
Place
cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl and cook for four minutes.
Allow cauliflower to cool. Once cauliflower is cool enough to handle, wrap it up in the dish towel OR a TON of paper towels, and wring the heck out of it. You want to squeeze out as much water as possible. This will ensure you get a chewy pizza like crust instead of a crumbly mess.

To
create the dough: combine squeezed cauliflower, cheese, salt, Italian seasoning,
garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed. Add the egg and mix thoroughly!
Place
the dough on the oiled parchment paper and create a tight crust – don’t make it
too thick or too thin. Place the
parchment paper on the baking sheet.
Bake for 8-11 minutes, until it starts to turn golden brown.
It’s
TOPPING time! Top the crust with
whatever you fancy!
Cook for another 5 to 7 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
Enjoy!
Cherry Tomato Sauce:
- 1-tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup purple onion
- 1-container cherry tomatoes
- Salt
- Pepper
- Italian seasoning

Let me be honest, this sauce recipe was an experiment,
I didn’t measure any of the ingredients or accurately assess the time; my
advice – watch the skillet. Place olive
oil in a warm skillet with crushed garlic cloves and purple onion. Cook until slightly golden, add tomatoes and
seasoning to taste. Simmer 15 to 20 minutes. I wanted a smoother consistency to my sauce
so I crushed all tomatoes with a potato masher.
