jmohme Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The wife and I are both on a diet and have both lost a significant amount of weight. The diet is not that tough, but one of the things that has been removed from our house is anything resembling bread. We were on our way back from town and passed by Neighbors Kitchen. That place makes a really great Margherita pizza, but crust is basically bread, so we drove on home. 😞 Yesterday, my wife went at it in the kitchen and a crust that fit our diet plan. Instead of being made of a bread dough, her crust was made from canned chicken breast and whatever other magical ingredients that she mixed in with it before baking it. Whatever it was made of, it turned out really good! A little irregular looking, but it satisfied our pizza cravings and kept to our diets! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted August 16, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 16, 2021 I’ve had the cauliflower crust where they mixed in a lot of parmesan cheese. It gave it a great flavor and made it crispier. Loved it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when we cook at home it's always better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmohme Posted August 16, 2021 Author Share Posted August 16, 2021 We have done the cauliflower crust before too. I don't mind it, but my wife does not care for it. This was far better anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.Cicero Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I have never had a good cauliflower crust - they all have a nasty cauliflower aftertaste that does not belong anywhere near a pizza! I vote for your chicken crust instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vote for your chicken crust instead! Probably helps if you like cauliflower to start with. I find it absorbs just about every flavor it is exposed to. It has a really smoky flavor when cooked on the grill, and picks it up readily. I've made cauliflower crust, and it is OK, and not too much a pain, but it isn't bread crust for sure. Never tried commercially produced crusts. Cheese crust is pretty interesting and seems to work well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it raw, and I like it cooked if done well, but I cant say that I have ever had it in any application where it was prepared as a substitute fro something else. Like Mrs.cicero implied, Cauliflower has a very unique signature that stands out in anything it is used in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because I like the stiff just about any way it is prepared. If you don't like it, or pick up on an aftertaste, that is just what it is for you. We use it for rice, mashed potatoes, potato salad, and just about anywhere else I can figure to employ it. Would we rather have the real thing? You bet, but if counting carbs or a lot of other things, it ain't bad. At least if you enjoy it, or don't pick up on that signature y'all are talking about.

Only that it has a unique flavor that stands out in anything it is used in. Sort of like Tequila. To me, any way you try to use it is always just a piss poor attempt to disguise it's taste. Just give it to me straight in a shot glass. No salt. No lime. Just an ounce of it as it was poured from the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a weight issue but if I eat bread items I gain three or four pound within a week or so, knock off the muffins, donuts and bread and the weight goes away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
