Ingredients

For the pizza crust & toppings

For the cauliflower cheese topping (optional) 

Instructions

For the pizza

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper that's lightly greased with olive oil.
  • Combine the zucchini with the tapioca starch, coconut flour, and nutritional yeast, salt, baking soda, and garlic, and mix.
  • Pour in the olive oil and apple cider vinegar and mix well.
  • Use 1 regular egg if tolerated, or prepare the gelatin egg by pouring the water into a small pot and sprinkling over the gelatin. Allow hardening for 2-3 minutes. Add the pot to the stove top set to low heat and allow to melt and return to liquid. This should take 1-2 minutes. Once liquid, whisk vigorously until frothy. Add to the crust mixture and stir well to combine.
  • Add the dough to the prepared baking sheet and form into a thin 8-9" crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. The crust should be lightly golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and top with desired toppings like sauce, cauliflower cheese (recipe below), etc.
  • Reduce the oven heat to 350 F and return to the oven for another 5 minutes or so to heat the toppings.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before carefully slicing and enjoying.

For the cauliflower cheese

  • While the cauliflower is still warm, strain some, but not all of the excess water.
  • Use a food processor to blend all of the ingredients until smooth.
  • Spread the mixture into a thin, even layer on the parchment paper. Allow setting in the fridge for 1 hr or in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
  • Once set, use a biscuit cutter or another mold to cut cheese slices and place on the cooked pizza crust before baking for another 5 minutes.
