Author Notes
This pizza is so exceptionally delicious and authentic, with the cauliflower crust resembling a 'normal' pizza base to perfection!
You'll never look back or try any other recipe to create a pizza base. The crust turns out light, crispy and fluffy and exactly how a pizza base should be. —Justina
