So, I'm giving this a whirl tonight...the crust is made with...CAULIFLOWER! It's pretty cheese heavy, so I'm going to try to cut it a smidge....lol...I'm going to cut the cheese. Anyhow...I'll let you know how it goes:

    my wife hates cauliflower, but i wonder if you could make the base out of something else. broccoli maybe?

    The 'crust' is currently in the oven...it smells WONDERFUL! First time pizza contains more protein than carbs! (Yeah, I know...there's a lot of fat in the cheese...but still).

    Let me know how it turns out...LOOKS YUMMY, but that much cheese does scare me a bit. I might try adding some almond flour to it just to help it. THANKS

    I'm going to call this a success. I ended up using:

    16 oz. cauliflower--steamed then mashed/food processed
    3 oz. asiago cheese
    1 egg
    italian herbs/black pepper

    Mix those together, plop on a pizza sheet (spray with olive oil spray first), and pat into a pizza shape about 1" thick
    Bake at 450 for 15-20 minutes--until the edges and top start to get golden brown

    Top with pizza sauce (I used 1/4 cup of pizza quick for ease)
    Top with 3 oz. mozzarella cheese

    Bake at 450 degrees for 5-6 minutes (cheese is bubbly and starting to brown).

    In all, it made 4 servings, and each serving was just under 200 calories, 7 carbs, 12.5 fat, 15 protein, 3.5 fiber, 2.5 sugar. I had 2 servings which definitely filled me up.

    The crust certainly isn't "pick me up and eat me like a normal piece of pizza," but had a good taste. Added veggies (onions, mushrooms, etc.), I think would've made it even more pizza like. In the end...a good trade off for the super duper high calories, fat and carbs in regular pizza.

    I wondered how it had turned out....I am going to try this I think. 200 cal at dinner time is not bad at all. Then you can still have more things with it. Anyways THANKS

    How interesting!! I mEed my fam a gluten free pizza today usingg spelt and barley flour but I've never thought about using a veggie base. Inbet you could steam cull and cut the dough mix in half too.

    Come to think about it, I beg you could do it with butternut squash! Etc



    Exciting!! I'm always looking for variations like this. Thanks!

    You must not have celiac disease or are just eating wheat free? Spelt and barley are not gluten free...
