Easy Cauliflower Crust Pizza and Pizza Sauce!

Our little grandson, Cruzer, is two years old. This little guy eats so healthy! Since he has not eaten many grains yet, he does not eat my Einkorn-crust pizza. So, when he was visiting, I made this cauliflower crust pizza. And...so started the "PIZZA! PIZZA!" chant!

This crust is from Mommypotamus.

What you need:
Cauliflower head, cleaned and broken into pieces
 or fresh riced cauliflower (my preference)
2 Tb. coconut flour
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder

What you do:
Place large baking sheet in oven and preheat to 450 degrees
Grind cauliflower in VitaMix until it looks like rice
Place 2 1/2 cups cauliflower "rice" in bowl
Sprinkle salt, onion powder, coconut flour and cheese over cauliflower
Add eggs and stir until thoroughly mixed
Form mixture into a ball and press into the shape of a pizza crust on parchment paper (apx. 11-12 inches wide)
Slide heated baking sheet under the parchment paper and place in oven
Bake for about 25 minutes
Add pizza sauce (recipe below), grated cheese, pepperoni, sausage, olives, mushrooms, onions, whatever
Bake for additional 8-10 minutes
If desired, broil for the last few minutes


For the pizza sauce (from allrecipes.com)

What you need:
1 7oz. jar tomato paste
4 to 7 oz. water (I empty the tomato paste, then use that jar for the water)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/2 Tb. dried oregano
1/2 Tb. dried basil
Fresh rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste

What you do:
Blend all ingredients in a VitaMix
Put in glass jar and let sit for a few hours to let flavors blend
