Cauliflower Cassava Pizza Crust is crispy and chewy flavored with Dubliner Cheese and spices. Makes the perfect paleo pizza. Perfect as an appetizer, lunch, or dinner. Furthermore, it is ideal when craving take-out pizza. A flavorful and tasty crust to add any type of sauce or toppings. Better than takeout. If you are craving pizza this is the crust for you. For a softer crust precook 2 minutes less. 
Therefore, I started researching and experimenting in my kitchen to create recipes that I and my family crave. One of my biggest cravings of mine is Pizza. It has always been one of my favorite foods for as long as I can remember. Initially, I tried a recipe from the internet for Cauliflower Crust but it was sticky and not tasty.
Almost immediately I decided to create my own crust. While it took time and experimenting until I finally came up with a crust that not only did I love but my family requested and prefers over their favorite local pizzeria. Not to mention that this crust is also freezer friendly. I often make several crusts and place them inside a box in my freezer. Then when I am craving a pizza I remove a crust placed it on some sort of sauce and toppings and bake.
Cauliflower Cassava Pizza Crust Notes:
Remarkably this crust is crispy around the edges and chewy in the center. As a matter of fact, the first time I made this crust with toppings my family could not believe that the crust was grain-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free. While this recipe is high in carbs as most pizza crusts are it is yummy and delicious.
Moreover, there are hundreds of delicious toppings to add. Surprisingly one of my new favorites is roasted radishes. Why not make a Hawaiian pizza but instead of cheese replace it with spinach or baby kale? Often when my daughter wants a dairy-free pizza we replace the cheese with spinach or kale.
Individual Pizza
Consequently, this recipe is for approximately 7-inch pizza. It is, therefore, perfect for one or two. However, on nights when everyone wants something different it can be doubled or quadrupled. Often, I make a quadrupled recipe and freeze it for later.
Freezing Directions:
To freeze just pre-cook the crust and allow it to cool. Last but not least simply place it into a freezer plastic bag and place it into the freezer. To use simply remove from the freezer and allow to thaw in the refrigerator. Once completely thawed simply add toppings and place it into the oven until the cheese is melted approximately 5 minutes.
Ingredient Information:
