Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Cauliflower Crust Recipe 1 recipe of Cauli-Rice (recipe below) 1 egg 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella 1 TBS. Seasoning of your choice 1/4 tsp. salt 1/8 tsp. fresh ground pepper Toppings of your choice, tomato, pesto or Alfredo sauce, cheese, precooked meats* & precooked veggies* Preheat oven to 450F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. It is important to get the rice as dry as possible so that there won’t be extra moisture in the crust which will prevent it from crisping up properly. In a medium bowl combine the dry Cauli-Rice, egg, 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella, seasoning, salt & pepper and mix to combine well. Press the cauliflower mixture into an even thickness on the prepared pan, either into a round or rectangular shaped pizza. I kept the crust pretty thin, about 1/4-inch thick. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crust is firm and golden brown. Remove the pan from the oven and turn off the oven and turn on the broiler and move the rack to up close to the broiler. Top the cooked crust with sauce, cheese and toppings of your choice. Place under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly and melted. The toppings I Used on this pizza was Jerked Chicken (marinated in Jabberwocky Smooth Jerk) Equal parts Sweet Molasses Papasauce, and Jabberwocky Smooth Jerk. Caramelized onions. 1 Avocado Grated Cheddar Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese Salt and Pepper on the Avocado Cauliflower-Rice Jabberwocky Smooth Jerk Step 1, 1 head fresh Cauliflower Remove the leaves and hard center core of the cauliflower. Cut into florets. Wash and then allow the cauliflower to dry completely. (You want the cauliflower completely dry and you will NOT be adding any water when cooking, this helps to cut down on the boiled cauliflower taste and smell.) Once dry, fill the bowl of a food processor about half full and using the chopping blade and the pulse action, process the cauliflower until it looks like the size of grains of rice.Spread Cauliflower onto baking sheet and turn oven to 150 and allow to dehydrate for 1 1/2-2 hours. Fluff up the Cauli-Rice with a fork and if desired add a pat of butter, salt & pepper. You can use just like this or create a pizza crust from it!
