How do I prepare the cauliflower for the pizza crust?

Chop the cauliflower in a food processor until it reaches a rice-like consistency, as specified in the recipe steps.

What makes the pizza crust gluten-free?

The crust is naturally gluten-free, made from a combination of finely chopped cauliflower and quinoa flour.

Can I make the cashew cheese ahead of time?

Yes, you can soak the cashews and blend the cheese mixture in advance, storing it in the refrigerator until ready to use for topping.

What is the purpose of the chia seeds in the crust?

Soaked chia seeds form a gel that acts as a binder, helping to hold the cauliflower and quinoa flour crust together firmly.

What's the best way to ensure the crust is firm?

Press the mixture evenly into your pizza or pie pan and pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding any toppings.
