I turned a common vegetable into the crispiest low-carb Homemade Cauliflower Pizza Crust.

If you are in the mood for an easy pizza recipe or aren’t good at making pizza dough, this is the pizza for you.

Who knew you could make a Baked, Loaded Homemade Cauliflower Pizza Crust?

Let me show you how it’s done.

Best Crispy Homemade Cauliflower Pizza Crust

I know you think cauliflower pizza sounds disgusting, but trust me, it’s far from what you think.

The best part is that you don’t need any flour, and making this frugal pizza in a flash won’t cost you lots of money.

Yesterday, one of my fans mentioned that they liked a cauliflower pizza recipe, and I knew I just had to make it.

Cauliflower Mash Vs. Mashed Potatoes

I thought it was a brilliant idea since we had cauliflower mash in the refrigerator that my wife had made the previous day instead of mashed potatoes.

Cauliflower mash is the new rage in the fitness world.

Now, you can replace the starchy potato with mashed vegetables that taste like mashed potatoes.

You don’t feel missing a thing when making mashed cauliflower.

I was a skeptic at first, but I am now a changed man.

More people are watching their food intake and switching to sweet potatoes, cauliflower mash, sautéed kale, collard greens, etc.

Coming from a family in the UK who used potatoes all the time was a welcoming change.

It was nice to know that I could substitute cauliflower for potatoes without noticing much difference.

I noticed that the cauliflower mash is wetter than the traditional mashed potatoes.

For this reason, I put the cauliflower back in the pot with no water.

After draining them, I let it boil off any excess water on the florets so they were fork tender.

Adding Flavour To Homemade Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Then, I mashed the cooked and dried cauliflower in the food processor.

I tried mashing the cauliflower with my hand masher, but it wasn’t working how I wanted it to.

Like mashed potatoes, cauliflower mash needs lots of flavor, so adding in the herbs greatly impacted the overall taste of this recipe.

You’ll find oregano, salt, pepper, eggs, mozzarella, and grated Italian parmesan as the binders for the crust.

Once blended, I made a thin layer on a baking sheet using the mixture and baked it for 20 minutes.

Once it came out from the oven, I added my favorite toppings and returned it to the oven to melt and brown.

Secret To Crispy Homemade Cauliflower Pizza Crust

I didn’t get it right on the first try, as the crust was a bit soggy, so I tried again.

Finally, I hit the jackpot on my second try.

Here’s my secret.

Don’t skip the drying step in the pot with the residual heat, keeping the cauliflower dry.

Making Homemade Cauliflower Pizza

I baked the cauliflower pizza until it was browned on the top and as crispy as possible.

The texture of the pizza was crispy around the top and outside and chewy in the middle.

This isn’t an Italian pizza, so you have to understand it won’t taste like what you’re used to.

Side-Dish To Serve With Cauliflower Pizza

I love how it turned out for me, and I hope you do, too.

You will know what I am discussing once you try this recipe yourself.

Once the pizza is done, rest for 10 minutes before slicing it into large squares.

I made a crunchy coleslaw on the side with a homemade Sumac dressing.
