My daughter is gluten free and pizza crust is one of the things we have had the hardest time finding a sub for. I do have some experience with coconut flour. It attracts moisture like crazy so a little goes a long way. And most of the recipes I've made with it taste much better a day or two later. I can’t wait to try this!

Our diet is even more restrictive, so we just steam the cauliflower, let it cool, and puree with an egg white. 1 cup cauliflower/1 egg white. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 and cook (with toppings) for an additional 10-15 minutes. I like to season mine with spices like oregano, basil, salt, garlic and thyme. You can also put it in muffin tins for mini crusts - Delish! :-) </p> My sisters and I have also discovered the awesome-ness of cauliflower as a crust.

Anyway, it was reasonably tasty, and I'm eager to have the leftovers! Thanks for suggesting this, as I've been wanting to try it ever since I saw it here.

Paleo on, brother!

I found the same thing w/most coconut flour recipes. I've been working on coconut flour recipes for a magazine for people w/food allergies and intolerances and I had a few things I was ready toss in the trash. I stashed them in the fridge thinking I would give them to someone else so they wouldn't go to waste. Then I discovered many things that seemed dry the first day, were better w/refrigeration and time to rest. </p> <p>Re: processing the cooked cauliflower for the pizza crust, I used my food processor, which made it easy to add the other ingredients. Really fast. I don't own a ricer.</p> You mentioned that you cauliflower pizza w/coconut flour crust tasted better the second day. I found the same thing w/most coconut flour recipes.

That looks fantastic. I can't wait to try it! You might want to try it with half as much coconut flour. Recipes I've seen say to add an equal amount of liquid as you do cocout flour in recipes. However, I don't think you want more liquid in this recipe since cauliflower already contains a lot of water. I saw a recipe on line for cauliflower bread sticks that also looked awesome. Can't wait to try them too.</p> Wow! That looks fantastic. I can't wait to try it! You might want to try it with half as much coconut flour.
