Pizza Crust

This past weekend I competed in a CrossFit Competition and one of my fellow crossfitters insisted on having pizza after the competition and well why not? Here is a paleo version that is pretty darn good!

1 head cauliflower

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

1 large egg

Preheat oven at 350 F. Grease a large cookie sheet or pizza pan with butter. Place parchment paper on top of greased up pan. Now grease the top of your paper- it will be a greasy top.

Clean your cauliflower. Drain and make sure it is not wet. Shred by hand in your grater or pulse it in your food processor (I just grated the cauliflower on my box grater). If you pulse in your food processor you want very small pieces throughout with the consistency of rice. You want 4 full cups of cauliflower for this recipe.

Place in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 3 to 5 minutes depending on your microwave (with no water). Let cool, strain out any extra liquid if any. Mix your cauliflower with the egg, and spices and salt.

Place 1-2 heaping balls of your mixture on your parchment paper- depends on if you want 1 or 2 pizzas.

Press out by hand and mold your pizza around ¼ “ thick. Make a slight “lip” around the edge to hold your filling in if you’d like. Bake approximately 35-45 minutes.

Add your sauce and toppings. I used tomato paste for my sauce and topped my pizza with ham, mushrooms, pineapple and pepperoni. You can add whatever toppings you like. Place back in the oven for 4 to 6 minutes to heat toppings. Add cheese if you are not going 100% paleo.
