Vegan Cauliflower Crust Pizza

 Crust Ingredients:

-1 large cauliflower
-3 teaspoons Italian seasoning
-1-1/4 cup flour of choice* (I used whole wheat flour)
-1 Tablespoon olive oil
-Salt to taste
-3 Tablespoons chia seeds plus 1/2 cup water
*Note: Use more or less flour depending on moisture of cauliflower

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Mix the chia seeds and the water and let sit for about 5 minutes.  Stirring occasionally.

In a food processor, process the cauliflower.  Place the cauliflower in a frying pan and cook for approximately 5 minutes or until cauliflower is slightly cooked and starts becoming translucent.   In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients with the cauliflower.  Add more or less flour depending on the moisture of the cauliflower.

On a greased baking sheet, shape the cauliflower to desired pizza shape.  You should be able to make about 4 small or 2 medium pizzas.
Bake for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, add your favorite marinara sauce and toppings.  I used Cucina Antica Tomato Basil Sauce.  It has no preservatives, no added sugar, no added water, and are made with real tomatoes - not paste.
Bake for another 15 minutes and serve.
