Ingredients:

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

12 ounces frozen riced cauliflower (defrosted or 4 cups raw cauliflower florets)
2 eggs (lightly beaten)
3 tablespoons homemade vegetable bouillon powder (or substitute with 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes + 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt)
1/4 cup tapioca starch/flour
Tomato sauce (for topping, optional)
Dairy-free shredded cheese substitute (for topping, optional)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven before preheating; otherwise, use a cookie sheet.
Place defrosted (or cooked) riced cauliflower in a large tea towel, gather tightly, and wring out all the moisture.
In a food processor, add the dried riced cauliflower and eggs; pulse until well combined and smooth.
Add the powdered vegetable bouillon (or nutritional yeast and salt) and tapioca starch, then pulse again until smooth.
Transfer the mixture onto parchment paper, shaping it into a round pizza crust about 10 inches in diameter and 1/3-inch thick.
Create a raised edge around the perimeter with a spatula.
Bake for 10 minutes, then flip and bake for another 3 minutes to brown.
Increase oven temperature to 425°F, add desired toppings, and return to the oven until everything is melted and the edges are browned (about 5 minutes).
Serve immediately.

How to store Cauliflower Low Carb Pizza Crust

Store any leftover crust in the fridge where it’ll stay fresh for about 3-4 days. Got too much? Freeze it! Just remember to separate each crust with parchment paper to avoid sticking. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes—no one likes a soggy slice.

Tips to make Cauliflower Low Carb Pizza Crust

Nix the moisture: Seriously, wring out that cauliflower until it’s nearly dry—it’s the key to a firm crust!
Flavor boost: Toss in some garlic powder or Italian herbs for extra flavor in the dough.
Thickness matters: Aim for about 1/3-inch thick—too thin, and it might crumble; too thick, it could get doughy.

Variations

Want to switch things up? Try adding different spices to the dough for unexpected flavors. Going vegan? Simply swap out eggs for flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water). Feeling adventurous? Add some chopped spinach or herbs right into the crust mix for a twist!
