Here are some more helpful tips for you.
- While this recipe for cauliflower pizza crust assumes that you are using fresh cauliflower to make your crust with, this is a simple cheat that you can try. Using cauliflower rice (basically cauliflower that has been 'riced' in a food processor) can be used as an alternative. I suggest for best results, making sure that the cauliflower rice is fully dried and making ingredient adjustments as needed.
- This recipe also calls for coconut flour to help keep the crust together. If you are thinking about an alternative to coconut flour, it is essential that you use one that measures 1:1 with coconut flour and making adjustments as needed because coconut flour has holds on to moisture differently from other kinds of flour.
- This recipe also calls for a premade sauce. You can find vegan, keto and low carb pizza sauces here.
This pizza can also be made not vegan.
Simply omit the flaxseed and water and use an egg instead.
Also, you can add your favorite cheese on top of the pizza.
