Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower about 2 pounds
- 3 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- 9 tablespoons water
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup sugar-free marinara sauce
- 1 cup dairy-free mozzarella shreds
- Your choice of vegetables mushrooms, bell peppers, olives
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Rice the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles fine crumbs. You should have about 4 cups of cauliflower rice.
- Mix ground flax seeds with water and let sit for 10 minutes to create your flax eggs.
- Steam the cauliflower rice for 5 minutes, then let it cool completely.
- Transfer the cooled cauliflower to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- In a large bowl, combine the squeezed cauliflower, flax eggs, almond flour, nutritional yeast, and seasonings. Mix well until it forms a dough-like consistency.
- Shape the mixture into a 1/4-inch thick circle on the prepared baking sheet. Make the edges slightly thicker to create a crust.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
- Add your toppings and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until everything is hot and bubbly.
