Egg-Free Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe
This Eggless Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe has been in the works for a few weeks!
There are many cauliflower crust recipes on the web, but the problem is that most of them had eggs, so I decided to make my own version, and I’m petty happy about it.
I will not lie to you. It is delicious, but it is not exactly like regular pizza. The dough tastes like cauliflower, so if you don’t like cauliflower, maybe this is not a good option for you.
My family loved it. And personally, what I liked most is that I’m not eating an excessive amount of calories. So if you are counting calories, try this pizza soon. It’ll make you happy.

1 – COOK THE CAULIFLOWER RICE
Fill a large pot with 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Add the raw cauliflower rice and cover; cook for about 4-5 minutes. Drain into a fine-mesh strainer. Place it in a clean, thin kitchen towel and let it cool a bit. Wrap it up, twist, and then squeeze the excess moisture out. Repeat this step until no water comes out.
2 – PREHEAT OVEN TO 450º F (230º C). LINE A BAKING SHEET WITH PARCHMENT PAPER.
3 – MAKE THE CRUST
Mix 3 teaspoons of water and ground flax seeds. Let it stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
In a medium bowl mix cauliflower rice, flax mixture, cheeses, salt, and Italian herbs. Mix well using your hands, or you can mix it in the stand mixer with the hook attachment.

Transfer the cauliflower mixture to the center of the prepared baking sheet and spread into a circle, resembling a pizza crust. The thickness will depend on your personal taste, but I recommend you do not spread super thin; 1/3-inch-thick works great.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is firm and golden brown.
4 – FINISH YOUR PIZZA
Add your favorite toppings. In this case, I added pizza sauce, fresh tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil.
Return the pizza to the oven, and bake an additional 5-8 minutes, just until the cheese is melt and bubbly.
Serve immediately.
