As a fellow easily distracted cook (and a mom!), I’m all about versatile recipes. This cauliflower crust is my go-to because:
- It’s forgiving: A little more or less of something? No worries, it still works!
- Kid-friendly: My 14-month-old loves it in all its forms.
- Multi-purpose: Pizza base, sandwich bread, you name it!
Spice It Up
Get creative! Adding spices turns this into delicious garlic bread. I’ve even used thicker squares as buns for a juicy chicken sandwich.
