Ingredients

• 1 large head Cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 1 cup Dairy-free mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, sliced
• 0.5 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, sliced
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until you get a rice-like texture.

Step 3

Transfer the riced cauliflower into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 4-5 minutes until soft.

Step 4

Allow the cauliflower to cool slightly, then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy crust.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken. This will act as the egg substitute.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower, flaxseed mixture, almond flour, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.

Step 7

Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into a circular shape about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Brush the crust lightly with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden and the crust is firm.

Step 9

Remove the crust from the oven and evenly spread the tomato sauce over it.

Step 10

Sprinkle the dairy-free mozzarella cheese evenly on top.

Step 11

Add sliced bell pepper, mushrooms, and red onion over the cheese.

Step 12

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil leaves.

Step 14

Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your dairy-free cauliflower crust pizza!
