SCD Recipe: Easy Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Recently I asked on Facebook and Instagram what people felt were their biggiest SCD challenges. One person answered that they had never been able to make a satisfying cauliflower pizza crust.

I love making cauliflower crust pizza and I’ve now been able to make a crust that I can actually pick up – no fork needed.


The secret to a good cauliflower pizza crust is squeezing out all the water from the cauliflower. It needs to be as dry as you can get it to make a dough. Once you’ve perfected your caulflower, you’ll perfect your crust.

For this recipe I’m making my basic crust, but you can experiment with diferent spices and cheese. Farmer’s cheese also works in place, or combined with, Parmesan.
