Tried pizza with cauliflower crust

Made cauliflower crust and baked on egg for half hour at 300ish.


Had to flip it half way through. That was challenging. 

Did a homemade sauce.  Olive oil, garlic, onions, and tomatoes.  Basil towards the end. 


For toppings we used pepperoni,  ground beef, onions, pepperoni, and mozzarella. 



We made 3 of these.  Turned out pretty good for what it was.

    How did the crust turn out?  I've found that cauliflower holds a lot of water and can hinder a crisp crust.

    Looks great btw!

    Turned out ok.  Yes tons of moisture escaping as I baked it.  Really difficult to keep it together.  Need to find another ingredient to bind it together if it exists.

    Shredded mozzarella cheese, grated parm, and egg for binder.  Use cheesecloth to remove the excess water before tossing on the egg and after you've cooked it.

    I use riced cauliflower in the bag (less hassle) and steam in microwave.  Then remove water, cook crust, top crust with sauce and toppings, then cook again.

    EDIT:  After I have cooked the cauliflower and squeezed in the cheesecloth, then I add the egg and cheese to form the crust.

    I tried that once. It wasn't awful... but it wasn't very good either. Still haven't tried another,

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Interesting idea, but NOT pizza.

    Great idea for a different kind of pizza!  I want to try this.
