Cauliflower Pizza Base
- 1 head Cauliflower, Washed And Cored And Cut Into Large Florets
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian Herbs
- 1/2 cups Grated Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- Preferred Pizza Toppings
- Preheat the oven to 200 C.
- If you have a food processor, use a knife and chop your cauliflower into individual florets then blitz into a rice-like texture in the food processor.
- If you dont have one you can grate your cauliflower with a box grater.
- Place your riced cauliflower into a big bowl and cook in the microwave for 10-12 minutes, depending on your microwave strength.
- Once its cooked and allowed to cool, scoop as much of the cauliflower as you can into some cheesecloth (or I use a clean dishtowel).
- Once you have the cauliflower in your cloth/towel grab all four corners and twist in order to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- You will be surprised by how much actually does come out.
- This part is a bit of an arm workout but the more liquid you get out, the crisper the end product will be.
- Once youve squeezed out as much water as humanly possible put the cauliflower back into the bowl and add your egg, herbs, mozzarella, salt and pepper and mix together well.
- When thats done, scoop out the doughy mixture and pat down into a well greased or parchment lined baking pan (or a well greased non-stick pan).
- Make sure to not make your base too thin.
- Place your baking pan with mixture into the oven and bake it for 15 20 minutes.
- Once its ready, take it out of the oven, cover with the toppings of your choice and pop back into the oven for a further 10 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted nicely.
