Ingredients

For the cauliflower pizza crust

  • 1 cup cauliflower , cut into florets
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup mozzarella
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil , for spraying

For the vegetarian topping

  • 2 tbsp basil pesto
  • 1 cup mixed veggies , sliced. I used zucchini, red pepper, red onions and cherry tomatoes
  • 5-6 fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp mozzarella , grated

Instructions

  • Prepare a baking tray by lining with parchment paper and spray a little oil on top.
  • Preheat oven to 220ºC
  • Steam the cauliflower florets for 5 minutes in salt water and let them air dry.
  • Grate in a food processor and then transfer them to a cheesecloth. Wring it hard to get as much water out as possible.
  • Return to the food processor, add mozzarella, break in the egg and add all the pizza base spices.
  • Mix together on low speed for just about 30 seconds.
  • Spread thinly with your fingers on the prepared baking tray.
  • Bake for 15 mins.
  • Remove and carefully flip. Bake for another 10 mins.

To prepare the vegetarian cauliflower pizza:

  • Take out the cauliflower pizza crust from oven. Evenly spread the basil pesto on top.
  • Sprinkle zucchini, red peppers, and red onions. Bake for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Add the cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and grated mozzarella.
  • Return to oven and bake for another 5 minutes.
  • Cut with the pizza cutter and enjoy hot. I also like the cauliflower pizza cold!

Notes

How to freeze cauliflower pizza crust

The cauliflower pizza crust freezes well. For freezing, I would suggest you make smaller rounds up to 8 inches in diameter. Place a piece of baking sheet in between the crusts and freeze in a big freezer bag.
