Cauliflower Crust Pizza With Pesto Sauce

1 head cauliflower
1 medium zucchini
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup mild cheddar
1/4 cup GF flour (Trader Joe's)
1 egg


Toppings:
fresh pesto sauce
mozzarella cheese, grated
goat cheese
caramelized onion

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Trim up the cauliflower (remove the florets) and place them into a food processor. Process the cauliflower until if looks like little granules of rice.

Put the cauliflower into a microwavable bowl and cook on high for 7 to 8 minutes.

While the cauliflower is cooking, grab a fine grater and grate up the zucchini. Chop through the zucchini to make it really small pieces. Similar to the cauliflower.

Place the zucchini into a bowl and microwave that for 3 minutes.

Cooking the vegetables helps to release all the liquid in the vegetables. Getting most of the liquid out of them is necessary to having a good crust.

Let both vegetables cool so you can touch them without burning yourself.

Place the cauliflower in a clean, white, thin cloth and lift up the sides so you can wring the cauliflower of it's water. You should be able to get out about 1/4 cup of water.

Just squeeze to get as much water out of it as you can. When you can squeeze no more, place the cauliflower into a mixing bowl. Scrape it out with a spoon to get it all out.

Do the same thing with the zucchini and add it to the cauliflower.

Now let's add the other ingredients to make our cauliflower crust.

Add the egg and Parmesan cheese and stir it in with a fork or spoon.

Blend the dried oregano, dried basil, garlic and onion powders, all together is a small bowl before adding to the cauliflower.

Sprinkle the spices all over the cauliflower to spread them all around the dough and stir.

Next add the yogurt and stir again.

Then add the flour by adding a little at a time and then stirring. Keep alternating until the flour is incorporated into the dough.

Add a sprinkle of salt and then add half of the mild cheddar cheese and stir. Add the second half of the cheese and stir again.

Prepare a pizza stone, pizza pan, or a baking sheet with parchment paper and a drizzle of olive oil on top.

Shape your dough into a ball and then place it on the center of your pizza stone.

Press out your dough until it is about 1/4 inch to 1/3 inch thick.

Place in a 450 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the crust is a golden brown.

Once done, spread the crust with your favorite toppings.

I used homemade pesto sauce. Remember to use a thin layer of whatever sauce you are using so the crust doesn't get soggy.

I added grated Mozzarella cheese, goat cheese, chopped homegrown tomatoes, and caramelized onion slices.

Place your pizza back in the oven at 450 degrees F. for 8 to 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Enjoy!
