I just read about using cauliflower for the base in pizza crust instead of flour! has anyone else ever done this? Im really curious about how it really does taste.
I've mashed cauliflower with a touch of potatoes for a mashed potato substitute but I've never used it as a pizza crust. I'm really intrigued now! I hope you get an answer.
I've made it!
I cook a few cups of cauliflower in the microwave (raw or frozen) then put it in a blender for a minute to make a mashed potato like consistency.
Then I add 1 egg, salt, garlic and baking powder. Make into pizza crust shape and cook at 400 for aprox 10 minutes, add toppings, and cook until cheese is melted and starting to brown.

I've heard of zucchini pizza crust.. haven't tried to myself yet, but now that I'm reminded of it maybe I'll try it soon. Probably tastes more mild than cauliflower!
there's lots of recipes for it if you google... here's one:

I'm steaming some cauliflower to mash with some potatoes and I thought I would set some aside for a cauliflower crust pizza. Most of the recipes I'm reading have a fair amount of cheese and egg in them. That makes the crust higher calorie than tortillas and flatout bread. I'm glad to read that you don't use the cheese and it works out. I'm planning to use egg whites instead as well. Is there some reason you use the baking powder?
