2 Tsp Italian Seasoning
1 Tsp Garlic Powder
1 Large Egg
2 Large Egg Whites
2 TB Honey
2 TB Water
2 TB Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Step One
Preheat oven to 400F. Combine oat flour, baking powder, salt, Italian seasoning and garlic powder in a large bowl. Mix in eggs, whites, honey, water and olive oil until dough forms.

Crazy Good Cauliflower Pizza
- 2 Cups Cauliflower (pulsed in the food processor so it looks like crumbs)
- 1 Large Egg, Beaten
- ½ Cup Shredded Skim Mozerella
- ½ Cup Grated Parmesan
- 1 Tsp Sea Salt
- ½ Tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- ½ Tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 Tsp Dried Oregano
- Your Choice of Toppings
Step One
Steam the cauliflower in the microwave until soft about 1- 2 minutes. Set aside to cool. When cool, place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out all the liquid.
Step Two
Preheat the oven to 425F. Mix the cauliflower with the egg, cheeses, salt, peppers, oregano and pat into a flat round on a piece of parchment placed on a sheet tray. Bake for about 10 minutes or until set. Take the pizza out of the oven and add your toppings, return to the oven for 5 - 10 minutes until browned – if necessary, you can run it under the broiler to get it toasty.
Personal Whole Wheat Pizzas
- 1 1⁄2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 1⁄2 Cups All Purpose Flour
- 2 Packages Rapid Rise Yeast
- 1 1⁄2 1Tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 1 Tsp Sugar
- 1 1/3 Cup Hot Water (110 -120F) 4 Tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Step One
Crank your oven up to 500F. Combine the Flours, Yeast, Salt and Sugar in a food processor; pulse to mix. Combine the water and oil in a measuring cup. Slowly drizzle the mixture into the processor with the motor running until it forms a sticky ball - the dough will be REALLY soft and sticky.
Step Two
Plop it out on a lightly floured surface. Spray a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray and place it sprayed side down on the dough and let it rest for 15 - 20 min- utes before preparing.
Step Three
On a lightly floured sur- face, divide the dough into 10 balls. Pat each ball into a pizza. Spread on your choice of toppings and bake until the crust is crisp and golden about 10-12 minutes.
