Cauliflower crust pizza
This pizza crust is gluten free and has a unique and delicious flavor. I created a crust that doesn’t have too many steps and can be done up to three days in advance! The tomatoes can cook during the crust cooking time, leaving the prep time for this meal so quick! Feel free to add your favorite toppings to this pizza, olives, roasted garlic, grilled vegetables, fresh basil…
