Had anyone tried to make cauliflower pizza crust and did you like it. I don't like the taste of cauliflower but craving a pizza like food. Not eating flour, so I can't just work a pizza slice into my menu. Thanks!

You're going to get a lot of people telling you to eat the real thing on this thread. I kind of agree! However, I have tried cauliflower pizza out of medical necessity (also not eating grains). It's pretty good! It is NOT like eating regular pizza, so you sort of have to know you are eating a different food. My husband dislikes cauliflower, but does like this.
This is the recipe we use (with few modifications): http://www.pcosnutrition.com/links/blogs/cauliflower-crust-pizza.html
I love it, he likes it. It doesn't taste too cauliflower-y. One tip: don't put all the cauliflower into your food processor at once. Do it a little at a time. Works way better for us.0 -
OP - do you have a medical condition that would make you have to avoid flour/grains/carbs? or are you just avoiding flour because someone told you it is "bad"..?0

I HAVE and as someone who likes vegetables, I like it.
That said, I prefer the zucchini one!
Regardless of whether you want to eat more vegetables, or reduce your consumption of refined carbohydrates. EXPERIMENT!
See what you like!

It really holds together well. It's got so much going for it. Nutrient dense (depending on topics to an extent) and very tasty!0 -
It's delicious. Make sure you drain the heck out of the "flour" for success. Now that I've been grain-free for a while, I prefer it over the real thing.0

Yes, we've made a cauliflower crust and loved it! My kids absolutely loved it and now request it. Give it a try!0

Not if someone told her it was bad just because they think carbs/flour = devil....
So no, I don't think that at all0 -
You mean like if a DR told them it was causing or contributing to a medical condition they have, you wouldn't accept that it was bad for them (not all, them)0

I've not made the cauliflower crust but have made the Fat Head pizza crust. It was delicious!0

Yup. I know.
And carry on preaching your definition of pizza.
Meanwhile. Some folks are looking for ways to ADD vegetables (you know, the plants?) and ways to lower their calories, or carbs, or both, while satisfying their urge for pizza. As a guy who makes liberal use of atkins food substitutes you'd think you'd get that.
Meanwhile. Carry on Ctc!
Here is a novel idea just put the vegetables on top of the pizza...
And please continue with your quest to convince us that cauliflower pizza somehow = real pizza
Which, of course, doesn't lower the carb (or calorie) count, but may, MAY work for iifymm!....
but hey, if you declare it so...0 -
Sabine, here's the link for Fat Head:

I've not tried it. I want to just out of curiosity though. I remember reading up on a recipe for it a while back, and they said the absolute key to get it to hold together is to use a cheesecloth and squeeze as much water out of it as possible after you've put it in the food processor. Apparently that step can been pretty labor intensive, but it's suppose to make it a better crust.0

Oh, that looks good. I can't tolerate almonds though, so I don't know about the almond flour. I wonder if it would be as good with regular flour or even whole wheat flour.

Ah yes. Thanks. I've actually tried this one. A bit dense for my PIZZA tastes. But is good.
Thanks!0 -
Cauli pizza is one of my favourite grain-free foods. Delish! Even when I've stuffed it up and made it too goopy it still tastes amazing.0

Why can't you have real crust?0
-
I've tried it and it was gooood.0

FYI cauliflower peeps - Trader Joe's now has a frozen "riced cauliflower" so no more pulling out the food processor and making a big old mess.

I'm not a vegan, but her channel has a lot of interesting recipes on it. Came across this one a while back, and watched it out of sheer curiousity. May be worth trying!0 -
I had cauliflower pizza, the pizza sauce covers up 95% of the flavor and it's damn delicious. It's not like regular pizza but a very good substitute. Make sure to weigh the cheese or else it'll be for nothing.0

THANK YOU for all the great hints!!' I wish we had a trader joes in our area.... I do not think flour is "evil ", but for the next 30 days I am not eating flour or refined sugar. I am doing it because those are two ingredients that send me into a mental and physical tailspin. I want to be able to have a slice of regular pizza eventually but I am just not there yet. One slice still leads to 3 more right now, so it is better if I don't have it at all. I don't like a lot of veggies, so the idea of a veggie crust is cool if I can handle the taste. I will definitely be trying the zucchini crust!! Thank you to everyone who posted recipes.0

It's hard to make if you don't squeeze the water out it won't work properly. I've made it once0
