Directions

Step 1

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

Break the cauliflower into small florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice.

Transfer the cauliflower rice to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 5-6 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Place the cooked cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the drained cauliflower rice, flax egg, almond flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and salt.

Step 7

Mix well and form into a dough. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet and shape into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 8

Brush the crust with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden and firm.

Step 9

Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top.

Step 10

Sprinkle vegan mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 11

Top with cherry tomatoes, red onion, and bell pepper slices.
