- CAULIFLOWER CRUST PIZZA INSTEAD OF REGULAR PIZZA
Regular pizza contains an unhealthy crust which is made up of maida or all-purpose flour which takes longer to digest and also stimulates bloating. Try the cauliflower crust pizza which is a healthier choice. Start by placing the cauliflower florets in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower is the consistency of wet sand. Then microwave the cauliflower for a few minutes and drain. Place the cauliflower into a clean kitchen towel, twist, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. After draining as much liquid out as possible, roll them into sheets and bake. Use it as normal pizza base. More healthy pizza crusts>>
