There was a post here, yesterday, that linked to this website: http://blog.yourlighterside.com/2009/05/low-carb-pizza-dough-cauliflower.html
It looked like a great idea so I tried it today, for lunch, and wanted to come back and post about how wonderful it was-- but now I can't find the original post!
So here is a pic of the cauliflower-crust pizza that is now living happily in my tummy:
This is what the crust looked like before I topped it and put it under the broiler for a minute:
My pizza was nearly the size of my dinner plate. Here are the ingredients I used: cauliflower (1/4 head), egg (1 large), tomato (1/2, pureed), mozzarella cheese (1/4 cup, part skim), turkey pepperoni (9 slices) and fresh basil/mushrooms/garlic/green peppers. (I left the mozzarella out of the crust to reduce calories-- and will continue to do so-- but it does provide some "glue" if you want to more successfully hand-hold the pizza slices.
The entire pizza was 259 calories.
Whoever wrote the original post-- I thank you! I will be making this several times per week.
-Chelle
P.S.-- I guess my pic must be too large 'cause it's not showing the entire pizza. I'm sure you get the idea, though.

will definately have to try that. A whole lot less calories than regular pizza for sure.

I linked to that recipe! I made a broccoli crust instead, I ended up making it two nights in a row! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! :)

I'll edit this post once I actually make, but you could also reduce cals by subbing 3 tbsp of egg white for an entire egg. I may half the cheese rather than quarter it like you did...
Thanks for reposting!

One important note!!!
I made TWO of these, today. I baked the first one on aluminum foil and it didn't brown as well.
I baked the *second* one on parchment paper and it made a huge difference.
I'm also glad to know who the original poster, was-- thanks for speaking up!

This look great. I am going to try this one and not tell the teenagers about the crust till after they have finished. Thanks for the heads up on the parchment paper.

I'll be making this whenever we get some cauliflower (which I've never even eaten!). But, like the other poster said, I won't be telling my family members until after they eat it.
Thanks for the post :)

Such an awesome idea, and another way for me to eat cauliflower since I usually just make mashed cauliflower with it! I am definitely going to give this a whirl! Thanks so much!! ;)
