Cauliflower pizza crust

Published 28 Oct 2014

Cauliflower pizza crust

Category : Gluten-free

Type : Main course

Difficulty : Beginner

Directions : 15 minutes

Cooking time : 30 minutes

Price range : Cheap

Ingredients 2 Number of people

2 cups grated cauliflower (roughly 1/4 of a cauliflower, depending on size)

2 eggs

50g emmentaler, grated (mozzarella could work too)

1 clove of garlic

2 tbsp olive oil

Oregano (or other seasoning to your taste)

A pinch of salt and pepper

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees.

Chop cauliflower in smaller bouquets and rinse. Put them in a blender and blend until very fine.

Mix cauliflower "grains" with the rest of the ingredients and put on a baking tray covered with baking paper. The mixture is quite liquid and you can make any shape you want.

Bake the pizza dough without topppings for 15-20 minutes, until golden. Now you can add your favourite toppings, bake some more and go nuts :)

Notes/Tips

This is an amazing pizza alternative if you're staying away from gluten. When I first heard of it I didn't believe it would actually become a pizza, but it does (and it doesn't really taste of cauliflower!)

When I add the toppings I only bake the pizza for another 5-8 minutes, so it doesn't become too dark around the edges (the one in the picture got a little too much). So if you have ingredients that need to bake for longer, I suggest you pre-cook them a little.

I don't use tomato sauce on this pizza. I think it might become too wet and soggy. Instead I use tomato paste, which works very well.
