Mini Frozen Cauliflower Pizza Crust
From Jenny Sugar, POPSUGAR
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup raw almonds
1 medium cauliflower head
3 tablespoons flaxmeal
9 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
- Place a piece of parchment paper onto a cookie sheet and lightly oil. Set aside.
- Place almonds in a food processor and turn on until almond meal forms. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
- No need to clean out the food processor. Place half the cauliflower florets in and turn on until finely chopped (smaller pieces than if you "riced" [1] it). Transfer to a glass bowl, finely chop the rest of the cauliflower, and add that to the bowl as well.
- Microwave cauliflower for two minutes.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, in a small bowl, mix together the flaxmeal and water, and set aside.
- Give the cauliflower a stir and heat for another 90 seconds.
- While that's cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F.
- While the cauliflower is cooling, in a small bowl, mix together the oregano, basil, garlic powder, and sea salt.
- Once the cauliflower is cool, place on a clean, dry dish towel and wring out the excess water. Squeeze out every last drop that you can. This step is superimportant to prevent a soggy crust.
- Return the cauliflower to the glass bowl and mix together with the almond meal, flax/water mixture, the spices, and the olive oil.
- Spoon out one-quarter of the dough onto the lightly oiled parchment paper and use the back of a metal spoon to flatten into a round pizza crust so it's about one-quarter-inch thick. Repeat three more times.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
- Since you have time, prep any toppings you plan on using for your pizza.
- When the crust is firm to the touch and lightly browned, remove it from the oven and flip the pizza crusts using a spatula. Bake for another 10 to 15 minutes.
- Allow the crusts to cool, then freeze them between sheets of parchment paper and store in a freezer-safe container.
