You Pinspire Me
In keeping with the grain-free diet that we’re trying to keep our little guy on, I’ve tried out a few grain-free recipes. This past weekend, I put together a cauliflower crust for our pizza using this recipe.
I’ll be honest – it takes a lot longer to put this together than it does to throw regular pizza crust ingredients into the breadmaker – but wow, it was so tasty that it’s definitely worth it! Take note: It doesn’t taste like regular pizza crust, but it tastes cheesy and wonderful.
I shredded a whole head of cauliflower with my cheese grater, but upon the advice in some of the comments at the bottom of the recipe, I think next time I’ll use the food processor. I’ll need to be careful not to puree it, just shred it very finely!
I microwaved the cauliflower in a bowl for 8 minutes, but I should have done this step earlier in the day – you’re not supposed to put the rest of the ingredients with it before it’s cool, and it took a really long time for my cauliflower to cool down.
I found that 1 head of cauliflower produced enough to double the recipe, which I did, and then lined our largest cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread out and shaped the crust to the size of the pan so that it was about 1/4″ thick. I sprayed the top of it lightly with Pam, baked it for about 20 minutes, and then topped it, broiled it, and served it. The result was very well received by both husband and son!
