The Cauliflower Secret

Traditional dough made with white or wheat flour isn’t considered as paleo. In order to make this recipe paleo-approved, the crust of this pizza is made entirely out of cauliflower. Cauliflower has a very neutral texture and flavor making it an excellent alternative for the crust. Just cut up a medium sized cauliflower and place the pieces in a food processor. Pulse the cauliflower until it is thoroughly shredded and fine. Also remember to squeeze out as much moisture and liquid from the cauliflower as you can. The drier the crust, the better it will turn out.
