Sometimes, true love is unexpected. It can strike when you are least prepared, pairing together two that you thought, could never be paired. They are too different, you might say. They will never make it, you whisper. Today's post, my friends, is about a love story that prevailed. A love story of fresh, florets of cauliflower, and crispy, golden pizza crust.
Cauliflower pizza crust is not one of those foods that the gluten free community suffers through, while wishing fervently that they were eating a real traditional pizza crust. No, it's not like that at all. It's one of those things, that a some genius person out there thought up, that happens to be gluten free, and also happens to be one of the best new foods right now. It's easy to make, it's lower in carbs and calories than regular pizza crust, and it will fill your house with a warm, toasty, cheesy smell that will have all the neighbours running in your direction.
This match made in heaven has been flying across many of the best food blogs over the last couple of months, so there are lots of recipe options. I made mine by taking a little from two separate recipes on Eat, Drink, Smile and Knead to Cook. Just click the links to check them out.
The basic recipe is pretty simple. All you have to do is put some cauliflower in a blender to make it resemble coarse crumbs. Then you cook it in the microwave for a few minutes, draining it very well after to remove the liquid. After that, you mix it up with some shredded cheese, a beaten egg, some spices, and dump it onto a greased baking tray. Smush it all down with your fingers in the shape of a circle, and bake it. At this point, you will begin to realize how amazing this is going to taste. Make sure the crust is cooked all the way through, then top it and bake again. What comes out after that is pure heaven. I do not believe that anyone could resist this dish. It's not trying to be a traditional pizza crust. It's just an incredible new way to eat warm and bubbly cheese, veggies, and meat. Which is a pretty awesome baby indeed.
