1 1/2 pounds cauliflower rice/florets, fresh or frozen
3 Tablespoons ground chia or flax seeds
1/2 cup almond flour or meal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
1.Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 2.FROZEN METHOD-fastest- If you are using frozen cauliflower rice, my preference, make sure you have thawed it in the fridge the night before. Frozen cauliflower florets can also be thawed ahead of time and used instead, you'll just need to rice it by processing it briefly in a food processor, before proceeding to the next step. 3. Transfer the thawed cauliflower rice to the center of a thin dish towel or place it in a nut milk bag. Use your hands to squeeze the rice, removing all of the excess moisture from the cauliflower. There should be quite a lot of liquid that comes out, close to 1/2 cup. 4.Place the drained cauliflower in a large bowl, then add in ground flax or chia seeds, almond flour, salt, garlic and dried oregano. Stir well to mix, using your hands if needed to make it stick together. You can add a Tablespoon of water if needed.
5.Press the mixture into the parchment lined baking sheet, using your hands to shape the crust into your desired size. The thinner and flatter you can press the crust, the beter, but try to keep it as even as possible for a sturdy result. I typically get a crust that is 12 to 14 inches. 6.Bake the crust at 400F for 45 minutes, checking on it after 30 minutes to make sure it is not starting to burn. You want the crust to be dry to the touch and nicely golden. TIP you can roast vegetable toppings for your pizza at the same time. I put sliced tomatoes, red onion and mushrooms on a separate pan and take them out of the oven around the 25 minute mark so they dont burn. 7.For best texture, I recommend flipping the entire pizza crust over on the pan,I use the parchment paper to lift it, then return it to the oven for another 10-15 minutes to dry out even more. However this is optional. I do recommend flipping over the crust either way, so that the dry side is on the bottom,easier to pick up
8. Once the crust is firm and dry, add your favorite pizza toppings and return to the oven briefly to let everything heat up, about 5-10 minutes. Serve warm. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
