Cauliflower Pizza Crust that’s Cheeseless, Low Carb, and Grain-Free

Every time I see cauliflower pizza crust as a menu option, I know it isn’t dairy-free. Most recipes use cheese, and lots of it, to make the crust cohesive. But this dairy-free cauliflower pizza crust is completely cheese-less! It’s still gluten-free, grain-free, paleo, and relatively low-carb, but it’s a lighter option made with simple, wholesome ingredients.

This recipe is infused with cauliflower, that's finely minced, but not pureed, to help provide a tender structure. Raw cauliflower minces rather easily in most blending appliances. I've even pulsed it in a personal-size blender (in batches) with good results.
