While you can buy pre-made cauliflower pizza crusts, corn starch or potato starch tends to be the main ingredient in these products. So by making it yourself, you’ll know your crust is made from fresh ingredients without unnecessary additives.

How To Make And Freeze Cauliflower Rice

There’s several options when it comes to making cauliflower rice. You can make it from fresh cauliflower, frozen florets, or buy it pre-riced. But if you’re wondering which type of cauliflower is best to use, here’s the answer. After testing all three variations, the consistency turned out pretty much the same for each.

I know pre-riced cauliflower may not be available for many people. So choosing between fresh cauliflower and frozen florets, the frozen florets required the least amount of work (no cutting mess or cooking needed). Thus, it quickly became my favorite method.

Now that you’ve got your cauliflower all prepped, here’s the full recipe on how to make the crust. Watch the tutorial video below to see how I make it step-by-step!

Pro Tip: If you’d like to get your cauliflower crust as crispy as possible, bake it on a pizza stone rather than a baking sheet.

Now comes the fun part – pizza toppings! One thing I will note here is that chunkier is better. You don’t want your ingredients to be too oily or runny, otherwise it will make your crust even soggier.

In terms of flavor, the combinations are endless. But, I’ve decided to whip up two of my favorite flavors: pesto chicken and Margherita pizza. You can find the full recipes below, but here’s a quick run down of what ingredients you’ll need.

If you want to meal prep for the week, frozen pizza crusts will be your best friend. Once you’ve baked the crust, let it cool and then place it into an airtight container or freezer safe bags.

Because a large 9-inch round pizza is harder to store, I recommend making two smaller crusts and stacking them on top of each other, with parchment paper in between. Even better, double this recipe and make 4 small crusts for the future. They’ll last for up to 3 months in the freezer.

When you’re ready to make your pizza, just remove it from the freezer, and re-heat it in the oven. Bake it at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes to thaw, then add your toppings and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cooked through.

How many cauliflower heads you use depends entirely on the size of the cauliflower. I use two cauliflower heads that are about 5-6 inches in width, to get about 1.5 lbs of cauliflower rice. This makes one cauliflower pizza crust.

I cut the florets and then pulse them in the food processor to make the cauliflower rice. Then it’s steamed (in the microwave, steamer or oven) so that it softens. This is the first step in making cauliflower crust.

However, if you can get your hands on cauliflower rice directly, then go for it. That eliminates the first step, so making this delicious cauliflower pizza crust becomes that much easier.

To execute a nice crisp crust, it’s important to remove as much water from the cauliflower as possible so that the crust cooks faster, making it crispy.

Some recipes call for the cauliflower to be spread out on a cloth napkin to absorb any excess water and to allow the water to evaporate faster as well. But in my experience, this still leaves some water in the cauliflower.

Solution – wait until the steamed cauliflower has cooled down, then place it on a clean cloth napkin or nut milk bag or a few layers of cheesecloth and then squeeze the water out. You’d be surprised how much water is removed from the cauliflower this way as compared to merely laying it out on a cloth napkin.

Once complete, you’ll end up with a mushed up ball of cauliflower, and this is what you use to make that crisp cauliflower pizza crust!

Place the mashed up cauliflower in a bowl, and mix it with all the cheese, herbs, seasoning and add an egg to bind it all together. This “dough” is the spread out to form a pizza base, and baked until the crust is cooked.

You’ll get a delicious pizza crust with crispy edges and some bite to it if you spread the dough to form a 10 – 11-inch wide crust. If you’d like it even crispier, then spread out the cauliflower dough more for a thinner crust.

Once the pizza crust is cooked through, you can top it with your favorite pizza toppings and bake to make your favorite pizza OR store the cooked crust for later by first letting it cool completely. Then wrap it with plastic wrap, followed by foil then freeze for up to 2 months.
