Once your cauliflower has cooled, squeeze the cheesecloth over the sink. Try to get as much moisture out as possible.

Line a baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper. Spread your cauliflower dough onto the parchment paper either with your fingers or using a rolling pin over a second sheet of parchment paper. Shape the edges.

Bake for 20 minutes, until the center is no longer soft.

Prepare your toppings:

While your crust bakes, prepare your toppings.

Place back in the oven for an additional 5-8 minutes, until toppings are cooked and the edges are golden brown. 10. Top with avocado and walnuts.
