                    • Sprinkle Braggs yeast (for the cheese)

                      Instructions –

                      Preparing the Cauliflower

                      • Bring a medium pot halfway-filled with water to a boil.
                      • While the water warms up, place the cauliflower florets into a food processor pulse until rice-like or chop fine.
                      • Once the water is boiling, add in the cauliflower rice and cook for 2 minutes. When done, drain into a mesh colander. Let cool for 2-3 minutes in the refrigerator and then, in batches, place the cauliflower rice onto a thin kitchen towel and strain the rice into a sink, until all excess moisture is released.

                      Making the Crust

                      • Place the strained cauliflower rice in a medium mixing bowl with the oregano, basil, garlic powder, egg and 2 tablespoons of Braggs yeast. Season with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly until cauliflower mixture becomes dough-like.

                      • Place the vegetarian pesto sauce or walden farms tomato sause in the center of the pizza crust and spread evenly around, leaving three-quarters of an inch from the edges for the crust. Top with basil.
                      • Top the pesto sauce or the walden farms tomato sause and basil with the zucchini noodles (Spiral vegetable sliceand sprinkle with the extra teaspoon of Braggs.
                      • Bake for 7-10 more minutes or until zucchini noodles wilt and the cauliflower crust is browned on the bottom.
                      • Using a pizza wheel, slice the pizza into 4 or 8 slices.
                      • With a cauliflower crust, the pizza crust is less likely to fall apart if sliced into 8 smaller pieces.
