Ingredients make 1 large pizza,
provided it is rolled out thinly enough.
Equipment needed:
- Blender/food processor
- Rolling pin
- Baking paper
- Kitchen cloth
For the Base:
- Medium head of cauliflower (+- 500g)
- +- handful of grated mozzarella (quantity and type of cheese based on personal preference)
- +- 30g of grated parmesan (quantity and type of cheese based on personal preference)
- Salt
- Oregano (optional)
- 1 egg
- Break the head of cauliflower up into smaller pieces and put in blender/food processor until it's chopped up and of relatively fine texture.
- Place in a microwaveable bowl and microwave for 8 minutes.
- Stir the cauliflower and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Form the "dough" into a large ball place onto the middle of a kitchen cloth.
- Wrap the dough up in the cloth and and squeeze the water out over the sink. There should be a substantial amount of water being pressed out. Do this for a good 2 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the cloth and add the cheese.
- Stir in the salt and oregano.
- Add the egg.
- place onto a large sheet of baking paper.
- Place a fresh kitchen cloth over the dough and start rolling it out with a rolling pin - this will help remove any excess moisture still left in the dough.
- Lift the baking sheet and tilt the base onto a baking tray with holes, the air flow will help make the base crispy.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and add toppings. (Some mozzarella, feta, onion, chorizo is a really great combo)
- Tomato paste is optional but not necessary.
- Turn oven onto the grill setting and bake for a further 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and brown and toppings are cooked to preference.
- Serve immediately.
Serving suggestion: Add some fresh avo,cherry tomatoes and garlic to the cooked pizza.
