My First Cauliflower Crust PIzza

Published on November 6, 2014 By Emily. Updated on August 16, 2015

I am very late to the cauliflower pizza crust party.  I feel like I’ve been seeing mentions of it for months, perhaps even years, but I never gotten around to trying it.  With my re-return to menu planning, I really wanted to be dedicated to using up all of the vegetables we brought home.  Last week, I actually planned some meals before I even went to the farm so I’d know what to get.  Cauliflower has been especially awesome lately and I knew it would only be available for a limited time, so I made sure to get some for making pizza crust.

Shockingly, there was no cauliflower pizza crust recipe saved in my Evernote account.  So, I put out the call for good recipes on Twitter.  I could’ve used Google, but I thought the results might be overwhelming.

Almost immediately, I received the following response:

@relishments I love the one from @LuckyPennyBlog http://t.co/SHlO0Z05Rw

I scoped out the recipe, discovered that there was a non-vegan version, checked that one out, found that it seemed totally manageable, and set out to make The BEST Cauliflower Crust Pizza from The Lucky Penny .  The recipe took a little time, but it wasn’t hard.  Basically, you cook your cauliflower (I did mine in a foil-lined steamer on the stovetop, since we don’t have a microwave), puree it in a food processor with other ingredients, roll it out on parchment, bake it, add toppings and bake it again.

I was really pleasantly surprised at how well this recipe turned out.  Not only was it simple, it really resembled actual pizza crust.  I ended up only needing half of a cauliflower to get the required volume, but other than that I followed directions exactly.  The crust held together nicely (I was able to pick up slices to eat them) and tasted awesome.  The texture was pretty close to dough and was not crumbly or wet.  Actually, the thing I liked least about this pizza was the arugula I placed on top; I think it got overcooked.  I will definitely be making this recipe again.  I may even revisit it this fall, if there are more cauliflower available at the farm.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
