    I love cauliflower and I love pizza so I can imagine liking this no matter how it turns out exactly.

    I have used pureed cauliflower in mashed potatoes and mac&cheese but never this - thanks!

    Be careful when you grate it... cauliflower chunks ricochet everywhere! Wheee!!

    My calorie count (which depends on whether or not you use eggwhite/eggs and which cheese you use) was around 1000 calories for the whole crust.

    I gotta be honest, it's not pizza dough, but it really pleasantly surprised me!

    I ran it thru the recipe maker on MFP and I got 590 calories which incl 1 tbs Olive Oil. That is strange, I think it must have to do with the cheese portion. ** And I didnt use any sauce.
    Still it sounds good!

    Oh (DUURRRR) I forgot to say I doubled it for a medium sized pizza. So yes, you're correct. Whoops!

    You can rice it a lot faster if you use a blender. Just pulse it until it gets ground up fine enough. Food processor is obviously better, but I'm much too lazy to use a grater and I don't have a food processor.

    The other thing I did is reduced the amount of mozzerella (I used about 1/2 a cup for each crust) and added some extra oregano that I sprinkled over top once I made the crust. Worked just as well for me but I did have to bake it a bit longer so it wouldn't fall apart.

    Does it hold together like pizza crust when you eat it or do you have to use a fork?

    How in the world did you get 1000 calories???

    I made this the other day, with a slightly altered recipe (less cheese more cauliflower in the crust) and came to less than 400 cals for the entire pizza. And I used a full egg...
    Maybe 1000 is a typo?

    As I said on the first page, I forgot to add that I doubled the recipe to make a medium sized pizza. My bad!

    I made cauliflower pizza the other day. 2 cups of cauliflower made a HUGE pizza crust. It took up my enitre pizza stone. I didn't use the cheese in the crust. Only cauliflower and egg whites (for less calories). I had to eat my pizza with a fork, but it tasted JUST like pizza. I was amazed. I could only eat about 1/2. My entire pizza came out to less than 400 calories. Great way to have guiltless pizza!!

    Ya, I think it could be done without a whole cup of cheese and still taste yummy.
