- Cauliflower: Cauliflower is a super versatile ingredient. For this recipe, we’ll mince it in a food processor, but first, you’ll need to cut it into florets. Check out this post on how to cut a cauliflower into florets for tips to make it easier.
How to Make Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Step 1: Start by preheating your oven or pizza oven to 400º – this dough cooks best in a hot oven!
Place the cauliflower in food processor and mince. Add the mozzarella and egg, then stir it together with a spoon or fork.
Using a spatula, press the cauliflower mixture onto baking sheet lined with a piece of parchment paper.
Step 2: Continue pressing the dough until you get your desired shape, being careful not to press it too thin.
Once your oven has preheated, place your baking sheet into the oven and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the bottom of the crust has started to brown a bit.
Step 3: Using another sheet of parchment, carefully flip the pizza crust onto the new parchment paper.
Add your toppings and then bake for another 7-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and your crust has browned.
Step 4: Allow the pizza to cool slightly and serve warm.

So, mine didn’t turn out. It’s soggy 😭 Are you supposed to cook the cauliflower first? Because if so, I didn’t read that in the recipe anywhere.
Hi Kori!
I’m sorry to hear that. Here are a few tips that may help it not be soggy: Use a dish towel to squeeze out as much liquid as you can. It should be very clumpy and even drier than before. You won’t get as much moisture out as you would after steaming because the cooking process actually helps most of the moisture evaporate.
I hope this helps!
