You asked for it... Cauli-crust pizza (pics)
Ok so I did the cauli-rice yesterday (yum!) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/130435-my-yummy-meatball-and-rice-dinner
and here's the pizza crust! I didn't follow the recipe that you'll get if you google it exact, i cut a lot of the cheese (from 1 cup to 1oz) to cut some cals and used egg beaters, so this whole pizza is 308 cals! Next time I will make it with goat cheese mozza (just used light marble cuz that's what i had). Was YUM!!!! Didn't miss the bread at all!
Hopefully it doesn't cut my photos too much, i didn't resize them.
before going in
cooked
with toppings
Edit:
here's the original recipe http://blog.yourlighterside.com/2009/05/low-carb-pizza-dough-cauliflower.html
my whole pizza was 308... just the crust was 145 >>> with my changes though!
1cup of cauli rice - i use raw cauliflower processed to size of rice, then nuked 2 min
like I said I only used 1 ounce of cheese vs 1 cup
and 2tbsp of eggbeaters vs 1 egg or 1/4 cup egg beaters
put on parchment, bake at 450 til dark, edges look burnt.
take out add toppings, then pop under broiler.
if you want it to be "hand holdable" make sure you've cooked it long enough, but also let the final product cool about 5 min before eating it.... I am willing to sacrifice it being hand holdable for so few cals!
the pizza is about 9 inches

Oh maudy, that looks amazing. I love substitutes like this, not just for the sake of calories, but changing up nutrition. Cauliflower is so yummy already and there are so many amazing uses for veggies that we don't think of.
Thanks for posting this.0 -
