Cauliflower?

This New Years, we were a little too "tired" to cook the big good luck meal. Instead, I opted to try a new recipe, cauliflower pizza dough. It was delicious! Who knew? Obviously, very healthy and cheap! I only used 1/3 of the head of cauliflower. It was a few extra steps but I felt good knowing that it was low calories, low carbs, and not full of preservatives, like the ready made dough we typically buy. The steps and pics are below.

First, I broke the florets from the head and put them in a food processor until they looked like grain. Not too much, else it'll puree.

After that, the "grained" cauliflower goes into the microwave for 8 minutes to release the water and heat the cauliflower. Then I added an egg, mozerella cheese, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. 

Then, using my spatula, I mixed it together and formed the mixture into a gooey ball.

Next, on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet, I pressed the "dough" into a round, 1/2" circle.

And baked at 450 until golden brown (approximately 15 minutes).

Lastly, the "dough" was transferred onto the cutting board to add my pizza toppings before going back into the oven until done. I typically have spinach, feta, onions, red pepper, and cheese for our pizza topping. I suspect that anyone wanting to try this recipe with meat will need to cook the meat first.

I was so excited to try it that I forgot to get a picture of the final product. Trust me that it was yummy and we will definitely be doing this again. It's a great idea for the carb conscious or anyone with a gluten sensitivity. I'm looking forward to trying other recipes using this same concept.
