Description

This Cauliflower Almond Pizza Crust is a gluten-free, low-carb alternative to traditional pizza dough. Made with fresh cauliflower, almond flour, and savory herbs, it bakes into a crispy, golden crust that’s perfect for your favorite toppings. It’s easy to make, wholesome, and packed with flavor—ideal for anyone following a keto or grain-free diet.


Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 dash salt
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour (for dusting pan)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Add chopped cauliflower to a food processor or blender and pulse until it resembles rice grains.
  3. Spread the riced cauliflower evenly on a baking sheet and roast for about 10 minutes, or until soft.
  4. Transfer the softened cauliflower to a large bowl. Add almond flour, eggs, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and salt. Mix until a dough forms and pulls together into a ball.
  5. Lightly dust a pizza pan with all-purpose flour. Spread the dough onto the pan using a spatula, shaping it into a thin crust.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the edges are crispy.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before adding your desired pizza toppings.

Notes

For a quicker method, cauliflower can be microwaved for 4 minutes instead of roasting. Flax eggs can be used for a vegan-friendly version. Substitute other flours like wheat flour for a firmer texture, but it will no longer be gluten-free.
