Trust me, you and your dinner guests will be positively drooling over this pizza. There are a few steps to this recipe, but they are all fairly easy and you can make the blue cheese dressing and pizza dough ahead of time. Making everything from start to finish takes about 2 hours, but when I have had the pizza dough and blue cheese on hand it cut down my time to 1 hour & 20 minutes ( 20 minutes prep & 1 hour baking).

How to Prepare Bangin’ Buffalo Cauliflower Pizza [Vegan]
To Make the Vegan Blue Cheese Dressing:
- Combine ingredients in a blender or food processor until creamy. Store in a jar in the refrigerator.
To Make the Pizza Crust:
- Combine warm water and dry yeast and let sit for several minutes. Put all ingredients into food processor and process until the dough begins to chase itself around the processor. Roll into a ball and place in a bowl coated with olive oil. Cover and let sit in refrigerator for up to 12 hours or freeze for later use. On a flat surface, using flour or cornmeal, roll out pizza dough into preferred shape.
To Make the Buffalo Cauliflower:
- Preheat oven to 425˚F.
- Toss cauliflower florets into a bowl with olive oil and coat. Transfer to a baking sheet in a single layer and place in oven for 15 minutes. Turn florets after 15 minutes and bake for another 10 minutes.
- In a bowl, combine buffalo sauce and garlic powder and set aside.
- Remove cauliflower from oven and coat with Buffalo sauce.
- Place back in oven for an additional 5 minutes.
To Make the Pizza Sauce:
- Combine sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside to spread on pizza dough.
To Assemble the Pizza:
- Pre-heat the oven to 500˚F and place pizza stone or baking sheet in oven for 7-8 minutes. Meanwhile, spread sauce on pizza and top with buffalo cauliflower.
- Remove baking sheet (or pizza stone) from oven. Then, carefully transfer the pizza onto the heated baking sheet. Bake at 500˚F for 10 minutes for a nice, crispy crust. (If you prefer a less crispy crust you can bake at 450˚F for 15 minutes).
- Remove from oven and drizzle with blue cheese dressing and top with cilantro.
