Hey!
Lenny Gale, Life is NOYOKE
So, somebody you know mentioned that they made cauliflower pizza crust.
"Oh, it was so good!"
Well, here's what they didn't tell you.
It doesn't taste like pizza crust!
It doesn't.
But, the good thing is that it's pretty good.
And, it doesn't taste like cauliflower.
So, that's what we're making today.
Cauliflower pizza crust.
So if you're looking for a fun little cooking project that gets you gluten-free for two,
this recipe is for you.
Now, there's a lot versions out there, but this is how we make
cauliflower pizza crust.
[music]
Aright, there are three phases to making cauliflower pizza crust.
Phase one is make it.
Phase two is bake it.
And phase three is top it!
Aright, here's what you're gonna need.
We're focusing today on the crust, so obviously you're gonna need some
other things to top your pizza, but for the crust, you're gonna need, from the
refrigerator, cauliflower and eggs.
From the pantry, you're gonna need dried
oregano, dried basil, salt, nutritional yeast, and olive oil.
And then a few things to make your life easier if you can get them,
parchment paper, a filtration bag, and a Vitamix.
Aright, let's make this thing.
Aright, just like the last ten cauliflower recipes, we'll start by peeling, rinsing,
and cutting the cauliflower.
Next, we're gonna rice it.
And since we're boiling it right after anyway,
we're gonna use the wet chopping technique.
So we'll put all the cauliflower in the Vitamix with water and blend it on low
for a few seconds.

And here's the time saver: Just dump everything in a pot a bring it to a boil.
Cool, huh?
Once it's reached a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for ten minutes.
Then, we'll put everything in a filtration bag and squeeze out as much water
as we can.
Be sure to rinse with cold water so you don't burn your hand.
I did that the first time and it was not fun.
But, without the burning hot water, it's actually a pretty good hand workout.
Next, preheat the oven to 400 degrees, because it's ready for the pizza crust,
we will be, too.
So we'll mix the eggs, the olive oil, the dried oregano, the dried basil, salt, and
garlic powder, which I forgot to mention in the intro with the cauliflower.
We can also probably put the Vitamix back.
Aw, that's cool, I like it when you're, like, behind the camera like that.
It's like I'm looking at you.

Spread it out on a pan lined with parchment paper.
Now, you definitely want to get it nice and smooth and even.
Think of it like frosting a cake!
Even strokes!
Pop it in the oven for about as long as one episode of Breaking Bad.
After 40 minutes, take out the crust to top it.
But before you do, kick the oven up to 450 degrees.
Now make your pizza.
You know how to do this.
Oh, mama mia!
Pop it back in the oven for five minutes and get ready for cauliflower pizza
deliciousness.
And just like that, you have hot, crispy, gluten-free cauliflower crust pizza.
Yum!
I can't wait to try it.
But first, a few bonus tips.
Aright, bonus tip number one.
Resist the temptation to use all the prepped cauliflower.
Cauliflower comes in all shapes and sizes, and you want to be precise
with how much you use.
Here we go.
Do I get to try it now?
Bonus tip number two: Drain as much water as you possibly can out
of the riced cauliflower.
The dryer the better.
Bonus tip number three: Resist the temptation to use a ton of sauce.
Remember that this is a thin crust pizza, so you don't want to weigh it down.
Bonus tip number four: You can top your pizza however you like.
I used a vegan cheese and some green olives.
But however you like!
I'm, like, smiling ear-to-ear, I'm so excited to try it.

And remember that this is not a five-minute recipe.
It's a little bit of a project.
But it's a lot of fun.
So go find a partner, and make it!
Because, of course, Life is NOYOKE.

Okay, here we go!
Oh, look at this!
Yum.
It is so good.
It's not a doughy, crunchy, chewy, New York-style pizza.
Of course.
But, for what it is, it does not taste like cauliflower.
You can taste the spices.
The basil and the oregano and the garlic.
It's really flavorful and really good.
Go make it!
It's really good.
Look, it holds together like pizza.
Look it!
I mean, that's pizza, baby!
Oh, and if you want more sauce, you can always just dip it.
I'll dip it.
Watch me dip it.
Just watch me dip.
No, that's a different song.
Here.
Is this disgusting?
Yum.
That was really good.
I recommend the dip.
What's the song?
I put my hand upon your hip.
When I dip, you dip, we dip.
-That one?
-Yeah.
I like that one better.
Aright, it's great, it's really good.
You want a piece?
-Yeah.
Are you going to save me some?
-I will save you some, yeah.
I'm not allowed to have any more.
We're gonna eat the pizza after yoga in an hour and a half.
Goodbye, go make this.
It was really good.
