 Cauliflower Pizza Recipe
(from Country Living - Jan Issue)

Cut up a head of cauliflower into smallish pieces and put it in a bowl. Pour in 1/4 cup of oil, 1 1/2 tsp salt and some pepper. Toss to coat.

Spread cauliflower on a pan (make a single layer) and put it in the oven for about 20 minutes at 400 degerees F

Thin Crust Pizza Dough

1 tsp active dry yeast

1 tsp sugar

2 cups flour

½ tsp salt

1/4 cup olive oil

Stir the yeast, sugar and 3/4 cup warm water together and set aside for 5 minutes.

Mix in the flour, oil and salt until a rough dough forms.

Knead for 5 minutes until dough is elastic.

Place dough in large oiled bowl. Cover with a dampened towel. Let rise in warm place until doubled in size.

Punch the dough down to deflate, cover, and let rise for about 30 minutes.

To make the cauliflower pizza:

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle to fit in a cookie sheet or baking pan. Dust the cookie sheet with cornmeal then place dough on top.

Top with roasted cauliflower and 3 Tablespoons of breadcrumbs.

Bake at 500 degrees F until golden and crispy about 15 minutes.

Transfer to cutting board, cut, and serve (I didn’t transfer to cutting board - just cut in the pan - I guess this could scratch it though)

YUM!
