Cauliflower makes up the bulk of this crust recipe, while eggs and cheese hold it together and make it taste amazing (we love you, cheese). And to make sure it holds up to all those delicious toppings? Well, I have a trick for that!

This is an overview of the ingredients needed – the full list with measurements is in the recipe card.
Cauliflower: We’ll use a whole head of cauliflower to make this naturally gluten-free pizza crust! Eggs: Eggs act like the glue holding our pizza crust together. Cheese: Cheese not only adds flavor but helps to make the crust sturdy. Seasoning: Finish it off with a few pinches of seasoning. I keep it simple with salt, oregano, and garlic powder, but you can go as crazy as you want here!
here’s the trick to a cauliflower crust that doesn’t fall apart
Dry out the cauliflower as much as possible! Cauliflower has a surprising amount of moisture in it, which is bad news for the pizza crust. Too much moisture will cause the crust to be soggy and weak. We’ll do two simple things to dry out our cauliflower, turning it into cauliflower flour. Drying tip 1 – Roast it to dry it out initially. Drying tip 2 – Squeeze the roasted cauliflower with cheesecloth or a clean towel to get every last ounce of moisture out.
This Pizza crust is so easy to make
grilled pizza
I love grilled pizza, but grilling a cauliflower crust is a bit harder. After you’ve pre-baked your cauliflower pizza crust, it should be sturdy enough to grill (be sure your grill is well-greased). If you’re unsure, just set the cauliflower crust on a grill-safe sheet (or cast iron skillet), add toppings, and grill that way!
classic pizza toppings
These topping ideas are just a starting point, let your imagination go wild!
Homemade Marinara Sauce: This will set the stage for mozzarella cheese (or your favorite cheese) and fresh basil. Vegan Pepperoni: Name a more classic pizza topping – I’ll wait. Truffle Oil: Adds just a hint of the mystical truffle. Finish the pizza with a drizzle of this tasty oil.
