Cauliflower Pizza Crust Recipe + Toppings

This cauliflower pizza crust recipe is AWESOME (if we do say so ourselves)—it hits all the marks of being gluten-free, vegan, paleo, yeast-free, sugar-free, etcetera…In case you haven't heard, cauliflower is the new kale, perhaps even outshining kale in versatility. Rice, bread, mashed potatoes, cream sauces, “steak”—you name it and cauliflower can replace it. Fortunately, we also happen to love the flavor. When in season, cauliflower has a sweet, buttery taste that lends itself well to a variety of dishes.We'll leave the creativity up to you in terms of toppings. We treated it more like a flatbread or carta di musica and topped with fresh hummus, fennel, and fresh greens. Amazing!
