    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:

    before I topped it and put it under the broiler for a minute:

    Ok, so I asked this on the other post, but never got an answer.. What is 'rice' Cauli?? Is it just mushed cauli?? I want to make this this weekend, but some of recipe I don't get, lol. Obviously I don't cook much..... But I'm learning:) Thank you!!

    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 made this last night....SOOOOO yummy! I think I will make it thinner thought next time or bake it longer since the center was a little mushy.

    This looks great! I bet it would even work substituting cabbage and onions. Here's one I found via Google. http://www.examiner.com/low-carb-in-national/cauliflower-pizza-crust-worth-its-wow-gold

    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! :)

    How did the broccoli crust turn out?!?!

    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!

    -Chelle

    I'VE NEVER USED PARCHMENT PAPER IN THE OVEN..... IT WON'T BURN/ CATCH FIRE??????

    Are you thinking of wax paper? Parchment paper will not melt in the oven, but wax paper will.
