There was a post here, yesterday, that linked to this website: http://blog.yourlighterside.com/2009/05/low-carb-pizza-dough-cauliflower.html

It looked like a great idea so I tried it today, for lunch, and wanted to come back and post about how wonderful it was-- but now I can't find the original post!

So here is a pic of the cauliflower-crust pizza that is now living happily in my tummy:

This is what the crust looked like before I topped it and put it under the broiler for a minute:

My pizza was nearly the size of my dinner plate. Here are the ingredients I used: cauliflower (1/4 head), egg (1 large), tomato (1/2, pureed), mozzarella cheese (1/4 cup, part skim), turkey pepperoni (9 slices) and fresh basil/mushrooms/garlic/green peppers. (I left the mozzarella out of the crust to reduce calories-- and will continue to do so-- but it does provide some "glue" if you want to more successfully hand-hold the pizza slices.

The entire pizza was 259 calories.

Whoever wrote the original post-- I thank you! I will be making this several times per week.

P.S.-- I guess my pic must be too large 'cause it's not showing the entire pizza. I'm sure you get the idea, though.

    I linked to that recipe! I made a broccoli crust instead, I ended up making it two nights in a row! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! :)

    I'll edit this post once I actually make, but you could also reduce cals by subbing 3 tbsp of egg white for an entire egg. I may half the cheese rather than quarter it like you did...

    Thanks for reposting!

    One important note!!!

    I made TWO of these, today. I baked the first one on aluminum foil and it didn't brown as well.

    I baked the *second* one on parchment paper and it made a huge difference.

    I'm also glad to know who the original poster, was-- thanks for speaking up!

    I made one this spring and it was delicious. My family liked it too. I had great toppings for one.

    I'll be making this whenever we get some cauliflower (which I've never even eaten!). But, like the other poster said, I won't be telling my family members until after they eat it.

    Thanks for the post :)

    Such an awesome idea, and another way for me to eat cauliflower since I usually just make mashed cauliflower with it! I am definitely going to give this a whirl! Thanks so much!! ;)

    This is such a great alternative to regular crust. I just finished making my pizza which was delish, I however changed the recipes a bit to lower the cals. Instead of 1 whole egg i used two egg whites and then followed the recipe. it was great
