1. From one medium head of chopped cauliflower, put florets into food processor until riced. (Not too long, or will puree the florets.) Yield: about 2.5 cups. Use frozen cauliflower florets to decrease prep time.
2. Put all in medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 8 minutes.
3. In (the same) mixing bowl, retain 1.5 cups riced cauliflower and all ingredients. Mix well.
NOTE: For thinner crust, use the entire 2.5 cups of riced cauliflower and divide into two pizza crusts; adjust ingredients and cook time proportionally.
4. Line a metal baking tray with foil and spray with oil.
5. (Or line an 11 “ round Corningware pie pan with aluminum foil, and spray with oil.)
6. Place cauliflower mixture onto tray, shape into round crust. Spray top with canola or olive oil.
7. Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes or until brown on edges and a little brown on top.
