Servings: 1 pizza
Ingredients
- 9 oz gluten free pizza dough
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup buffalo sauce (gluten free & vegetarian brand)
- 1/4 red onion
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp sour cream
Buffalo cauliflower
- 1 1/2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1/2 cup gluten free all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
Buffalo cauliflower
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
- Cut the cauliflower into bite sized pieces and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Mix the flour, water, sugar, and salt to create a batter then coat the cauliflower in the batter. The batter should be thin enough that it coats the cauliflower in a relatively thin layer but thick enough that it still sticks to the cauliflower. If the batter is so thin that it falls right off the cauliflower then add more flour 1/2 tbsp at a time. If the batter is so thick that it coats the cauliflower in a thick, goopy layer then add more water to the batter 1 tsp at a time.
- Bake the cauliflower for 15 minutes at 450 degrees.
- After the cauliflower is done cooking, use 1/3 - 2/3 of the buffalo sauce to coat the battered cauliflower bites.

- Increase the oven temperature to 475 degrees.
- Roll the pizza crust out so that it is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. We recommend shaping the pizza crust on a sheet of parchment paper that can be transferred to a baking sheet or pizza stone for cooking. If your pizza dough is sticky, you will need to cover your hands in flour or olive oil to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
- Slice the red onions and green onions then mix the sour cream and heavy cream to make the sour cream drizzle.
- Add the buffalo sauce, mozzarella, buffalo cauliflower, and red onions to the pizza then bake the pizza for 15 - 18 minutes at 475 degrees.
- After the pizza has come out of the oven, add the sour cream drizzle and the green onions to the top of the pizza. If you are having trouble distributing the sour cream drizzle evenly then try using piping bags or a ziplock bag with a small hole cut in one corner to apply the drizzle.
Notes
Measuring pizza dough. Are you having trouble figuring out how much pizza dough to use to make this buffalo cauliflower pizza? If you are buying pizza dough at the grocery store then there should be a label on the pizza dough that displays the number of ounces in the bag. If you are making your own pizza, you should use around 1 1/2 cups of flour to make the appropriate amount of dough. 9 ounces of dough should be roughly enough to make a 12 inch pizza.
