Tomato Basil Pizza with Cauliflower Pizza Crust

-


I have made cauliflower crust before and was disappointed. It did not hold together and was very wet and soggy. I kept seeing over and over that people were making cauliflower crust and were successful. I had to give it a try again. After a lot of testing and reading, I did  notice that squeezing the water out of the cauliflower helped a lot. It was a much drier and crispy crust than before. So, please don't skip this step! You can also top this pizza crust with sauce and cheese like a traditional pizza, or experiment with any other toppings you like. This is a great grain free alternative to pizza!

I'd love to hear what you topped yours with, leave a comment below and let us know!

Crust adapted from this recipe

Ingredients

Crust
1 small head of cauliflower grated
1/4 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cups shredded goat mozzarella cheese
1/4 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 whole Egg
olive oil

Topping
grape tomatoes cut in half
coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
goat mozzarella


Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until you have cauliflower rice. 

  


Steam cauliflower over a little water until tender. Remove cauliflower and let cool. Place in a clean dry dish towel and squeeze out water. This will help keep your crust dry. (I didn't do this the first time I made it and mine did not stay together well).

In a bowl, combine the cauliflower, Parmesan, mozzarella, salt, oregano, garlic powder, coconut flour and egg. Mix until combined. Split mixture in half and make a ball out of each half then press into a circle using your hands to make a crust like edge. Brush with olive oil.


Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. The edges should be lightly brown.


Remove from oven and top with goat mozzarella, grape tomatoes and basil. 


Put back in the oven for another 5-10 minutes until cheese is bubbly.

Jac's Gluten Free Bakery in Hicksville NY

If you are near the Long Island, New York area, you need to check out Jac's Bakeshop & Bistro in Hicksville. I went there for the first time 2 weeks ago when they opened and have been back many times since. We have sampled and enjoyed many items such as their bagels, sandwich bread, bistro rolls, crumb cake, pretzels, rainbow cookies and cupcakes. It is great that they are gluten free but what I love even more is that their products are natural, 100% whole grain, use organic unrefined sugars, all natural food coloring and are 80% organic. Many of their items are also dairy free, egg free and vegan. I have not had a decent bagel since going gluten free. I've tried some gluten free bagels but none of them were that good so I'd rather just not have them. Jac's bagels are amazing and taste just like a traditional NY bagel. The bistro buns were great fresh, but also great after being frozen and defrosted for later use. I now keep some in my freezer so anytime we nee...

Turkey Broccoli Bites

I'm always looking for new ways to sneak veggies into a meal for myself and definitely for my kids. These turkey broccoli bites are the perfect meal paired with a nice big salad or as a snack anytime. They are kid approved! I know because I can barely keep them on the plate as they run by and keep grabbing them. I usually double the batch when making these because they also freeze good for another meal for a busy night during the week. Ingredients 1 lb organic ground turkey 1/4 cup pureed broccoli (I make a batch of pureed broccoli and freeze it in portions to use when needed) 1 egg 2-3 tablespoons gluten free bread crumb (you can use Jillians or Chickpea breadcrumbs ) 2 teaspoons garlic powder 1 teaspoon salt pinch pepper olive oil or coconut oil for cooking Directions In a mixing bowl beat egg and add all ingredients except for turkey. Mix well until all ingredients are combined. Add the ground turkey and roll into bite size balls or patties. Heat a large ski...

Interview on Probiotics

-
Interview with Registered Pharmacist John Azzarelli Anyone who knows me, knows that for years I had been dealing with digestive issues. It wasn't until about 2 years ago, that I really started to find out the things that were causing these issues. The first thing I removed was gluten and that made a world of difference! But, I still wasn't feeling as good as I should be. Then I met John Azzarelli owner of Dr. BWell Naturally in Plainview, NY. He is a Registered Pharmacist and Certified Nutritional Consultant. He is very knowledgeable in many areas of health, particularly Probiotics and Digestion. He had suggested that I had yeast imbalance. I never would have thought that the symptoms I had would be coming from my gut, itchy skin, sinus congestion, headaches, breakouts, and digestive issues. Once I followed his recommended regimen I felt like a new person!! No more headaches and sinus pressure, my itchy skin was relieved and my hair and skin never looked better! I...
