Instructions

Make chia egg by whisking together ground chia and water, and let absorb for at least 5 mins.
In a food processor with the grating blade (not the s-blade), grate cauliflower into small rice-style pieces. Then add to a large mixing bowl with almond meal, gluten-free flour, chia egg, nutritional yeast, garlic cloves, onion powder, salt and pepper. Stir to form a dough, then bring together in a ball.
Transfer dough to parchment paper and roll it out until it's 1/4 inch thick. (See notes for easy rolling)
Slide parchment paper onto to a baking tray. Bake in the oven for approx. 30 minutes, or until golden and crusty. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
While you're waiting for the dough to bake, make your Pink Hummus: In a food processor add your hummus and beetroot. Blend until smooth.
Spread hummus onto pizza dough leaving approx. 1 inch for the crust. Decorate pizza with sliced avocado and arugula. Cut into slices and serve.

Notes

Tip for the dough: After transferring the dough to parchment paper begin flattening it with your hands. Flatten dough to be about 2-3 inches thick. Then layer a piece of parchment paper over top of the dough and set your rolling pin on top.

Roll pin overtop of the parchment paper to flatten the dough until is 1/4 inch thick. (The top layer of parchment paper will stop the dough from sticking to the rolling pin). Peel off the paper and you're left with a thin pizza crust ready to bake
