Cauliflower Pizza Crust With Sausage And Basil Recipes

CAULIFLOWER PIZZA CRUST WITH TOMATO, MOZZARELLA AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until fine. Steam in a steamer basket for 4 to 5 minutes and drain well. (I like to put it on a towel to get all the moisture out and squeeze to dry.) Let cool.
• In a bowl, combine the cauliflower with 1/2 cup of the mozzarella, the Parmesan, oregano, salt, garlic powder and eggs. Transfer to the center of the prepared baking sheet and spread into a circle, resembling a pizza crust. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Add the marinara sauce, the remaining 1 cup mozzarella and more Parmesan if using and bake an additional 10 minutes.
• Tear the basil over top of the pizza while still hot. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan if desired.

PIZZA WITH SAUSAGE, TOMATOES AND BASIL

Steps:

• Mix flour, yeast and salt in a bowl. Gradually add 1/2 cup warm (110°F) water until a soft dough forms. Divide dough into 4 portions. Using hands, roll dough into balls. Coat with cooking spray, cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise, 30 to 45 minutes. When ready to cook, place each ball of dough on a piece of wax paper and flatten into a 4-inch circle. Coat grill with cooking spray and heat on high. Gently place dough onto grill and cook until dough puffs and underside stiffens (about 30 seconds); flip and reduce heat to low. Mix topping ingredients, then divide among crusts. Cover grill. Cook until cheese melts, 5 to 6 minutes more. Slice and serve.
