Delicious Wheat Free Pizza Recipe

I wanted to post my delicious wheat free pizza recipe for you all to enjoy!  This is one of my favorite gluten free recipes, and everyone I've made it for absolutely loves it (even those who aren't gluten free!).

Wheat Free Pizza

Ingredients:

1 head cauliflower, cut into 1- to 2- inch pieces
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Choice of meat toppings (if you eat meat!)
12 ounces pizza sauce
Choice of vegetable toppings (I love onions and green peppers!)
Fresh or dried basil
Fresh or dried oregano
Black pepper
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions:

-In a large pot of boiling water, cook the cauliflower until soft, about 20 minutes.  Drain the cauliflower and transfer to a large bowl.  Mash until the consistency of mashed potatoes with minimal chunks.  Add 1/4 cup of the oil, eggs, and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and mix well.

-Preaheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Lighly coat a pizza pan or large rimmed baking sheet with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

-Pour the cauliflower mixture onto the pizza pan and press the dough into a flat, pizza-like shape no more than 1/2 inch thick, mounding it up higher around the edges. Bake for 20 minutes.

-If using ground meat, cook in a skillet until browned and cooked through.

-Remove the pizza crust from the oven (leave the oven on) and spread it with pizza sauce, the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella, vegetable and meat toppings, basil, oregano, and pepper.  Drizzle with the remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil and sprinkle with parmesan.  Bake until the mozzarella melts, about 10 to 15 minutes.

-Cut the pizza into wedges and use a spatula to transfer to plates.


If you haven't read the book Wheat Belly by William Davis, MD, you really should!  This is where I got this recipe, and it has tons of other great recipes as well.  I think the name of this book is deceiving, because it makes it sound like just another diet fad book.  But the book itself is chock full of scientific research and tons of information about why you might want to consider dropping the gluten.  I hope you enjoy this pizza as much as I do!
