Recipe tips:

• For the best cauliflower pizza crust results (crispier), squeeze out excess moisture from the cauliflower.
• Place a pizza stone in the oven while preheating to help crisp up the crust.
• Add your favorite pizza toppings, such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, chicken, or sausage. 
• Avoid cooking the crust with the toppings, as this can make the cauliflower base soggy.
• Frozen cauliflower rice can be used in place of freshly grated cauliflower. However, ensure to thaw and drain cauliflower to achieve a crispy crust. 
• To create finely grated cauliflower, pulse fresh or frozen cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice.
• Incorporate garlic powder and any other spices you like into the cauliflower pizza dough for extra flavor.
• Fresh basil or oregano can be added to the pizza sauce or the cauliflower for a more aromatic finish.   
• Make cauliflower pizza crust in advance and freeze for a hassle-free meal on busy days.
