Ever since I stopped eating gluten, the food I miss the most is pizza. In my opinion, pizza is the best food ever invented. I am a huge fan of sauce and cheese, but I was always a crust kinda girl. Weird? Yea probably, but I always loved eating pizza with people who would leave the crust. I would steal every bit, every time, without fail.
The challenge today, is creating a dairy free pizza crust that is satisfying. I wasn’t born yesterday… I know that no “healthy” pizza crust will ever be the same as the one from my favorite neighborhood pizza joint. That doesn’t mean that I can’t find some sort of acceptable substitution!
Cauliflower pizza crust is blowing up the internet. There are millions of recipes boasting the best cauliflower pizza crust. Most of these recipes have cheese… LOTS of cheese. My challenge was to create a cheese-less pizza crust, that still had great texture, flavor, and taste! I did it….
*no your eyes are not deceiving you, there are two different pizzas photographed. I initially made one yesterday, but lost the light while I was photographing… (blogger problems). I was FORCED to make it again today, and decided to use different toppings!

Notes
This is definitely a large pizza, but if you want to eat the whole thing by yourself, go for it! If you want to share (I don’t) that’s really nice of you.
HAPPY FRIDAY!
