What this recipe is not:

Cauliflower Crust Pizza (Gluten Free) //

  1. A tool for teaching an ESL student the culinary significance and the translation of the word “pizza.” It is not that.
  2. A pizza to offer to someone who is *legitimately gluten free but who has tasted pizza at its most glutinous, doughiest, finest. It is not that. (*legitimately gluten free, not one of those, “oh, I”m off the gluten now” types who clearly still has muffin crumbs on his or her lips from breakfast. You can offer this as pizza to them).
  3. A new contender to go into the ring with Chicago and New York. It is not that.

Cauliflower Crust Pizza (Gluten Free) //

  1. An interesting way to eat more cauliflower. It is that.
  2. Practically a corn-free polenta. It is that.
  3. A recipe you can make on a weeknight and feel really proud of the effort you invested in your dinnertime. It is that.
  4. Good. It is really good. But it’s hardly a pizza. 
  5. A vehicle for bacon. It is that. Unless you’re gluten free and vegan. Then, don’t even get me started. 

So if you’re still on board with this cauliflower [non]pizza, proceed. The recipe awaits!

Bon Appétit!
