Having the crust made from cauliflower allows you to enjoy your favorite fast food and getting that feeling of eating something crunchy and crispy without a damage to your keto lifestyle or your waist size.

Since keto is more of a lifestyle than one week deal, with time, you will find joy in cooking and spend more time browsing for interesting recipes that also will unleash your inner chef, since lots of recipes can be escalated or changed to your taste.

The main rule is to keep everything fresh, ecological, non-artificial and find ways to your local farmer’s markets. If you buy frozen cauliflower pizza crust in the store, make sure to read the label carefully for keto-friendly ingredients.

How to make cauliflower pizza crust

The main ingredient for your pizza crust is cauliflower rice. Nowadays, it can be found in many shops but read the ingredients list carefully to avoid unwanted substances.

If you prefer your crust without cheese, you can replace cheese with flaxmeal or almond meal. You might need to adjust the amount to make it work. A little bit of xanthan gum or psyllium husk powder will help as it acts as binding agent to prevent ingredients from separating.

 

 

Also if you want the best result, try making your own riced cauliflower. All you need is just 10 minutes and a blender. You’ll be rewarded with a big bowl of homemade rice that can be kept in the fridge for days or in the freezer for weeks, always ready for your culinary experiments.

You can cook the cauliflower in a microwave or saute it in a hot pan for 1-2 minutes. Let it cool and squeeze out all its liquid. Mix all the crust ingredients in a bowl and season it well.
