Directions

Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Chop the cauliflower, add the florets to a food processor, and pulse until you achieve a light and fluffy consistency.
Remove the cauliflower "rice" and steam the blended florets for 4 minutes.
Allow the cauliflower rice to cool, and then use a tea or paper towel to remove any excess liquid. Add the rice to a large mixing bowl (make sure you're left with approximately 3 cups of rice).
Whisk together the water, Primal Kitchen Avocado Oil, flax and knead them into the cauliflower. Add the seasonings and almond flour, and continue kneading.
Once the dough is of uniform consistency, roll it up into a ball. If the dough feels too sticky, then add a little more almond flour.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and grease with Primal Kitchen Spray Avocado Oil. Press the dough down onto the baking sheet, and gently spread it out into a circle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Add the pizza dough to the oven, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust edges begin to turn golden.
Remove the pizza dough from the oven and top it with a layer of marinara pizza sauce. Sprinkle on onion and pepper slices, pepperoncini, olives, and fresh basil leaves. Add cheese and drizzle with Primal Kitchen Plant Based Ranch Dressing. Add a pinch of salt and pepper (to taste).
Return the pizza to the oven, and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes. Wait until the cheese melts and the crust browns.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Enjoy!
