Cooked in a cast iron skillet in an Ooni, expect a golden brown, crispy base and a rich cheesy flavor.

Gluten-Free Cauliflower Crust Pizza

(150 grams) cauliflower florets

egg, beaten

(85 grams) grated Parmesan

(85 grams) grated mozzarella

garlic powder

oregano

olive oil

Salt and pepper

(80 grams) Caputo Fioreglut Gluten Free Flour

tbsp (45 grams) Classic Pizza Sauce

(60 grams) mozzarella

Basil leaves

Using the food processor or box grater, grate the cauliflower into a fine, rice-like texture.

Place the cauliflower in a heat-proof container and cover loosely with a lid. Microwave for 5 minutes, or until the grated cauliflower rice has softened. Leave to cool.

Once cool, transfer the cauliflower rice into the nut milk bag and squeeze over the sink to drain out as much moisture as possible. Try to remove as much liquid as you can, as this will prevent the crust from becoming soggy.&nbsp;

Fire up your&nbsp;Ooni pizza oven. Aim for 752˚F (400˚C) on the stone baking board inside. If cooking with&nbsp;Ooni Pro, use the pizza door; if cooking with any other Ooni pizza oven, keep the door off. You can check the temperature inside your oven quickly and easily using the&nbsp;Ooni Infrared Thermometer.

In a bowl, combine the mozzarella, parmesan, olive oil, egg and herbs and season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix well to combine. Add the cauliflower and mix together until well combined. Dust over the gluten-free flour to distribute it evenly, and knead the mixture until all the flour has been absorbed. Form into a ball, then divide the mixture in half and shape into two balls.&nbsp;

Drizzle a little olive oil into your skillet and line the base with a circle of baking parchment – it should fit the base perfectly with no excess parchment coming up around the sides, as this can catch alight under the intense heat of the oven.

Place a dough ball in the center of the skillet. Press into the dough carefully to push it outwards and fill the base of the pan. Note that the texture will feel very different to a regular pizza dough – it should feel grainy and will not feel elastic, so be sure to do this gently. Aim for a ¼ inch (5mm) thickness, with the edge of the dough base reaching very close to the edge of the pan. Use your fingers to mend any tears around the edge of the base by smoothing them over.

Place the skillet in the center of the oven and reduce the flame to a minimum – if you’re cooking with gas, turn the dial right down the lowest setting. Cook for 5 minutes, turning every minute or so to ensure an even cook.

Once the base turns a light golden color and is crispy around the edges, remove the skillet from the oven and add the pizza sauce and mozzarella.&nbsp;Be careful not to overload the pizza with toppings – the base is delicate, so keep the ingredients light!

Place the skillet back in the oven and cook the pizza for a further 3 minutes, or until the mozzarella has melted, again turning the skillet regularly to cook it evenly.&nbsp;

Once cooked, remove the skillet and use the turner to carefully lift the pizza onto a cooling rack for 1 minute. This allows any excess moisture to escape which helps the crust to stay crispy and firm up before slicing.

Transfer to a serving board while still warm, slice it up and marvel in the low carb, gluten free goodness!

Repeat for the second ball of dough, or store in the fridge in an airtight container.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust comes out crispy, you can hold the slice and use frozen cauliflower or cauliflower rice to make it. Tasty, low carb and the best recipe on the web with foolproof step by step video. Just read reviews for yourself! Only 56 calories and 4 grams of carbs per slice. Let's go!

Cauliflower Pizza Crust {Crispy - Hold the Slice}

Italian seasoning

salt

tsp black pepper

Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese (grated/shredded)

Cooking spray (I use Misto)

Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and line baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper or silicone mat.

Make "rice": Rinse cauliflower, remove the outer leaves, separate into florets and chop into smaller pieces. Process in a food processor in 2 batches, until "rice" texture forms (skip if using store-bought "rice").

Cook "rice": Transfer cauliflower rice on a prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 mins. Remove cooked cauliflower rice from the oven, transfer to a large bowl lined with a double/triple layered cheesecloth or linen towel, and let cool for 10-15 minutes or until safe to touch.

Squeeze: Then squeeze the liquid out of the ball (cauliflower inside the cheesecloth) as hard as you can. Be patient and do this a few times until barely any liquid comes out. Muscle work.:)

Make dough: Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl whisk the egg with dried herbs, salt and pepper for 10 seconds. Add cheese and squeezed cauliflower; mix very well with spatula until combined.

Form crust: Line same baking sheet with new parchment paper or silicone mat (just make sure to scrape off any bits of cauliflower) and spray with cooking spray. Transfer cauliflower pizza dough in the middle and flatten with your hands until thin pizza crust forms. Make it thicker than in my video, I made it a bit too thin.

Bake crust first: Bake for 20 minutes, carefully flip with spatula and bake for a few more minutes.

Bake pizza with toppings: Top cauliflower pizza base with your favourite toppings and bake again until cheese on top turns golden brown.

Enjoy! Cut into 8 slices with a pizza cutter and finally enjoy!

Store: Refrigerate leftovers covered for up to 2 days.

Freeze: Bake, cool and wrap in plastic wrap. Or place in a resealable extra large Ziploc bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before baking with toppings.

Thank you so much for this recipe! Just made this for my family for dinner, along with some pumpkin soup. I put four eggs instead of three, and it looks perfect nonetheless. Lots of gratitude and love from Bombay, India!

Shockingly, you won&#039;t miss the traditional flakey quiche crust when you make this delicious Cauliflower Crust Quiche. The crispy and cheesy vegetable crust compliments the savory egg filling bringing an additional herbed flavor.

Cauliflower Crust Quiche

Riced Cauliflower

Olive Oil

Parmesan Cheese

Garlic Powder

Salt

Black Pepper

Egg (beaten)

Eggs

Heavy Cream

Milk

Salt (optional)

Ground Black Pepper (optional)

(If making your own &quot;riced&quot; cauliflower) Chop up 1 head of cauliflower into florets or use pre-cut florets, and working in batches, place them into a food processor. Pulse each batch until the consistency resembles a crumbled rice.

Preheat the oven to 425ºF and grease a 9-inch pie pan with oil or butter and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the riced cauliflower. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes until it begins to brown.

Place the cauliflower into a large bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes before adding the parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir the ingredients together and then add the beaten egg, stirring to combine completely.

Using your fingers firmly press the cauliflower mixture into the bottom and sides of the prepared pie dish.

Bake the crust for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it begins to turn a golden brown.

While the crust is baking prepare the quiche filling by whisking together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and pepper together. Pour the mixture into the pre-baked crust.

(If adding any meats or vegetables make sure to brown or saute them in a skillet before adding them to the egg mixture).

Decrease the heat to 350ºF and cook the whole quiche for 40 to 55 minutes until the center is set (see notes below if crust begins to burn) and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the quiche sit for 10 minutes to continue firming up before slicing it to serve.
