Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Ingredients :

For the crust -
3 cups grated cauliflower
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup parmesan (optional)
1 egg
1/2 tsp Cajun Seasoning
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper


Topping -
Any veggies of your choice
Shredded mozzarella
Pizza sauce (marinara / alfredo)
oregano





Directions
1) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees .
2) Microwave grated cauliflower for 10 minutes. Allow cauliflower to cool down a little and then with help of a muslin cloth drain the water. You want to squeeze out as much water as possible.
3) Dump cauliflower into a bowl. Add cheese, salt, pepper, cajun seasoning and combine. Then add egg into the mixture and make a dough.
4) Line your pizza stone / baking sheet with a parchment paper / aluminium foil and smear it with oil (very important to grease the parchment paper ! ).
5) Use your hands to form a crust from the dough on the greased parchment paper. Pat it down thoroughly, you want it evenly spread, nice and tightly formed together.
6) Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until the crust starts to turn golden brown. Remove from oven.
7) Add how much ever sauce, cheese and toppings you like onto the crust. I need not give measurements for this because you know better how you like your pizza ;) ! Stick it into the microwave for another 7-8 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly and slightly golden.
8) Let the pizza sit for 2 minutes before you dig in !

Note :
1) Instead of egg you can use 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds soaked in ¼ cup warm water for ten minutes. 
2) To make a white pizza use alfredo sauce. Top with your favorite toppings.
3) You can make a regular size pizza or mini pizzas. I tried both. The smaller ones look really cute and are relatively easier to make. (less patting of the dough ! )
4) Instead of Cajun seasoning you can add any Italian seasoning to the dough. Or you could just add garlic salt.
