Ingredients
  

Pizza Crust

  • 3 tbsp flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 small cauliflower head approx 4-5 cups florets
  • 1/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp dried parsley

Sauce & Toppings

  • 1/3 cup pureed tomatoes or pizza sauce
  • 2 cups mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
 

  • For the pizza crust:Preheat oven to 450°F/ 230°C
  • Make the flaxseed egg by mixing the flaxseed with water. Let it sit & become jelly-like while you make the rest of the pizza.
  • Chop your cauliflower head into florets. Then, using the grating attachment on your food processor, or a hand-held grater, grate the florets into cauliflower 'rice'. Squeeze out any excess liquid with a tea towel if necessary.
  • In a medium bowl, place the cauliflower rice, flaxseed egg, coconut flour, smoked paprika, salt and parsley. Stir very well to combine. It's important the flaxseed egg is well mixed in.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the pizza dough out on it - it doesn't matter if you want to make a circle or a square. Press with a spoon or your hands to get it set properly.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • For the sauce & toppings:Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by mixing your pureed tomatoes or regular vegan pizza sauce with basil and oregano. Set aside. 
  • Chop the mushrooms into slices and crush the garlic cloves. 
  • Place olive oil in a heated skillet and add crushed garlic. Cook until fragrant and remove garlic from skillet. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender.
  • Once your pizza crust is ready, coat it with the pizza sauce and top with garlic-infused mushrooms and sundried tomatoes.
  • Put it back in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove, garnish with fresh herbs and cooked minced garlic.

Notes

Feel free to mix up the toppings to your preference.
Prepare the cauliflower rice ahead of time & store in the freezer to make this pizza prep quicker/to eat out of season.
