Cauliflower crust at LIT Pizza

Haven’t had Lit’s, but we swapped to cauliflower crust on our homemade pizzas a year or so ago. They are easy to make and mucho better for u....

Some guy got it in front of me yesterday. Looked decent if that's your thing.

Thanks. Is it crisp? Does it taste a lot different?

Put on parchment paper and I burn it for 10 minutes on 400

I would get that fairly regularly if it became a regular menu item and didn’t cost more than about $10

Cauliflower crust is delicious. The only place in Shreveport you can by it is Drug Emporium.

We started making our own pizza for the first time in years.

Because most of those cauliflower crusts are still held together by some type of flour. It sounds like Lit really only has cauliflower, eggs, and cheese. That's pretty awesome.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Adapted from Dr. Eric Berg's Healthiest Pizza in the World recipe

Ingredients:
2 cups finely grated cauliflower (or buy cauliflower rice from grocery store)
2 cups low moisture, shredded mozzarella cheese plus extra for topping (I use Great Value brand from Walmart)
2 large eggs

Pizza sauce (I use Great Value brand from Walmart.)
Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, italian sausage, black olives, onions, cheese, etc.)

Directions:
The Crust
1. Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut parchment paper to match the size and shape of your pizza pan. I put the pizza stone in the oven and wait 20 minutes past the point where my oven becomes pre-heated. The stone makes the crust really crispy and delicious.
2. Finely grate cauliflower. You want a fine, uniform texture like rice.
3. Mix together the cauliflower, mozzarella cheese and egg until well-combined.
4. Place cauliflower mixture in the center of the parchment paper on the pizza pan. Spread the mixture thinly but evenly out to the edges of the pan.
5. Bake crust at 450 degrees for 17 minutes. Once cooked, take crust out of the oven, flip it over. (Allow crust to cool before adding toppings.)

Making the Pizza
1. Place a small dollop of tomato pizza sauce in the center of your crust and spread it out nearly to the edge.
2. Add cheese and toppings.
3. Return to oven and bake pizza until cheese is evenly melted and just beginning to turn golden on the surface. About 12 minutes.

The difference makers:
1. I buy a head of cauliflower and grate it. I thinks it's better than using cauliflower rice from the store.
2. Use an oven stone.
3. Contrary to the recipe, I don't cook the crust in a pizza pan. I put parchment paper on a pizza peel, form the crust on that, then use the pizza peel to slide the parchment paper and crust on the pizza stone.
4. Make the crust as thin as you can without creating holes in the crust.
5. I find the more toppings you use the less obvious the cauliflower odor you will notice.
6. Let the pizza cool on the counter long enough to allow the crust to firm up. I even move the pizza to around on the counter to help speed up the process.
