Healthy food is all the craze these days. And for good reason, life is hard, and staying healthy is harder every passing day. In America obesity is a huge issue. Our food supply is full of poisons, preservatives, and sugar. The need for ways to eat better has never been more important. This gave way to diets like the Keto diet, Paleo diet, Atkins, South Beach Diet.

I've researched each extensively and can tell you they all work. But each diet isn't right for everyone. Like the Keto diet. I have friends losing tons of weight on Keto. It works. Go find an article online and read the comments section. You'll find people stating how they are off their meds from doing Keto. The diet is full of leafy greens, quality fats, and low carbs. The way it works is 70% fats, 25% proteins & 5% carbohydrates. If you need to lose a lot of weight I would suggest Keto. But for me, I'm more of a Paleo eater. Think caveman diet. Pretty much eating real food and staying away from processed foods.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Head of Cauliflower
  • 1 teaspoon Hydrated Chia Seeds
  • 2 Tbs Cooked Quinoa
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Dry Oregano
  • 1 ¼ Cups of Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • Package of Sliced Mozzarella or favorite cheese
  • Fresh Cracked Black Pepper
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • In a Food Processor add cut up Cauliflower and pulse till the texture of snow ( Fine Grind )
  • Next Microwave the cauliflower for 4 minutes. Then allow the Cauliflower to cool down so that you can handle the Cauliflower. Next, in a large mixing bowl add a kitchen towel and place the cauliflower in the middle. Bring the kitchen towel up and around the cauliflower and begin to squeeze ringing out the water from inside the cauliflower. Take your time and remove as much water as you can. This is the key to crispy pizza crust. Next, add the cauliflower to a mixing bowl and add in all of the ingredients and mix well.

Shaping the Pizza Crust

  • Add parchment paper to an oven-safe cookie sheet. I added a little butter to the cookie sheet to help the parchment paper stick. Add all the cauliflower into the middle and create a round circle. Next start pressing down and moving the Cauliflower outwards into the shape of a large circle, ie the shape you want your pizza to end up looking.

Par Baking The Crust.....

  • Place the Cauliflower pizza crust into a 400-degree oven for 15 minutes without any toppings

Finishing the Cooking

  • After the 15-minute par baking add all of your pizza toppings and return the Cauliflower pizza crust to the oven and bake an additional 20 plus minutes. The longer you cook the Cauliflower pizza crust the crispier the end product will be.
