Ingredients

• 1 large head Fresh cauliflower florets
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes gelatinous. This will act as your egg substitute.

Step 3

While the flax mixture is resting, wash and chop the cauliflower into small florets.

Step 4

Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency.

Step 5

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 6

Once cooled, transfer the cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is vital for a crispy crust.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cauliflower, flaxseed mixture, almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.

Step 8

Transfer the cauliflower mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into a 10-inch round or rectangular crust, pressing firmly to ensure it's compact.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, add your desired dairy-free toppings, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the toppings are cooked and the edges are crisp.

Step 11

Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade, dairy-free cauliflower pizza!
