Caitlin's Primal Cauliflower Pizza

Hello!
I am finally back to working on my blog. My life has been way too busy. I was involved in a very successful 8-week fitness challenge at The Workout Club in Feb and March, at the same time the Fitness Challenge was going on The CrossFit open was happening, training my clients, training myself, 3 dogs and of course raising teenagers is always fun and challenging. Just life nothing bad just busy like everyone else. The CrossFit Open was a blast. I improved from last year in everything…strength, stamina and I finally got double under's! Mark did amazing. He ended up #83 in the world for ages 50-54 and #9 in the North East. This weekend he will be performing 4 brutal WOD’s for the Master’s Qualifier(regionals if you are 40 or over). If he ends up in the top 20 he goes on to The CrossFit Games in Carson, California in July. Say a prayer all goes well!

About this recipe…if you LOVE pizza like I do you will absolutely adore this recipe. It is packed with good quality nutrients, it won't stuff you like regular pizza does because there is no white flour or yeast in it. The best part about this recipe is now they make bags of crumbled cauliflower so there is no need to have to use a food processor. This cuts the prepping time in half. You can purchase the bags of crumbled cauliflower at Trader joe's and Roche Brothers if you live near me or at your local grocery store or Health food store.
Please let me know how you like this recipe. Enjoy!

Crust:
1 head cauliflower or 1 bag of Green Giant Cauliflower Crumbles(cauliflower all crumbled for you)
1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup fresh parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon flaxseed
1/2 tablespoon chia seed
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 organic eggs, whisked lightly

This is a picture of the crust after I baked it for 20 minutes...delicious!

Toppings:
1/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1-2 antibiotic free, organic chicken breasts cut up into small pieces
1/2 cup of chopped nitrate free bacon
1/4 cup- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup chopped yellow onions
1/4 cup red pepper
1/4 cup green pepper

STEPS:
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or
lightly brush olive oil on a pizza stone.

2) Cut cauliflower into pieces and pulse in a food processor until fine. Steam in a steamer basket.  If you are using the Green Giant crumbles follow the directions on package(cut open top and place in microwave for 4 minutes or steam in a steamer basket).

3) After cauliflower is steamed spread it out on paper towels for 5-6 minutes to get the extra water out. Let cool.

4) In a large bowl, combine all of the crust ingredients. Mix well. Transfer it to your pizza stone and spread it out with the back of a large spoon, resembling a circular pizza crust.

5) Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.

6) while the crust is baking sauté chicken and bacon in a large frying pan. Remove from pan leaving a teaspoon of bacon grease. Add onions and peppers, stir fry. Drain fat.

7) spread pizza sauce on crust then add the chicken, bacon, onions, and peppers. Top with more mozzarella cheese and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

8) let cool then slice and eat. BTW...this pizza tastes better the next day. 

**You can add any toppings you like. To make the large pizza shown in the picture I used 2 bags of the Green giant Cauliflower crumbles so I doubled the entire recipe.

additional topping ideas:
-spinach, pineapple chunks, red onion, and chicken.
-ham and pineapple.
-bacon and onion.
