Stuck on ideas for dinner tonight? Love your pizza but can’t have gluten? Love trying new recipes?
Well we have the one for you…. Try this Cauliflower Crust Pizza, we did last night and loved it!
What do you need…
For the Base
1 Cauliflower
100g Ground Almonds
2 Eggs, beaten
Dried oregano
For the Topping
1/2 a large eggplant
1/2 a red onion, cut into wedges
1 Zucchini
Prosciutto
Olive Oil
Fresh Basil leaves picked
Bocconcini
Mozzarella
Chilli Flakes and salt to season
Pesto
How to make it…
The base…
Heat oven to 200C fan forced. Remove leaves from Cauliflower, de stem and cut into chunks. Using a blender or food processor blitz the cauliflower, you may have to do half and then the other half. Tip the cauliflower into a bowl and place in the microwave for 5-6 mins, if you don’t have a microwave then bring water to a boil and place the bowl into the water for 6-10 mins until the cauliflower is warm and soft. Place the cauliflower onto a clean tea towel, when cool enough squeeze excess water out of the cauliflower. In a clean bowl place the cauliflower adding in the ground almonds, eggs and spices of your choice (we used dried oregano).
Line a tray with baking paper, place the cauliflower onto the centre of the tray, using your hands spread the cauliflower into a 30cm round pizza base, making the edges slightly thicker. Bake this for 15-18 mins until golden brown.
The toppings…
Once all toppings are cut up, place them into a pan with olive oil, season with your choice of spices (we used chilli flakes, salt and dill), remove from the heat when softened. When the base is cooked, spread pesto onto the base, then mozzarella, eggplant, zucchini, red onion and prosciutto. Slice the Bocconcini and place onto the pizza, if required sprinkle a little more mozzarella onto the pizza to help binding the ingredients.
Finishing…
Place the pizza into the oven for an extra 10-12 mins turning the oven up to 220C. Before serving place fresh basil leaves onto the pizza.
Buon Appetito!!!!
