A twist on my usual cauliflower crust pizza crust...

Place in dehydrator at 145degrees for the first 40 minutes and then lower to 115degrees for about 5-7 hours (time can vary depending on where you live and how moist the veggies are) 3.

Store in air tight container *Wet hands a bit to help with the stickiness when rolling *Add anything else you like or substitute ingredients

Make sure to keep rotating the trays in the dehydrator throughout the time so that the edges dont become too hard. 4. Remove from the dehydrator and use right away or place in an airtight container to use throughout the week. These freeze well too if you jus
