Cauliflower pizza crust with Mozzarella cheese

About

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper or a silicone mat.
2. Take the cauliflower, remove the outer leaves, separate into florets and chop into smaller pieces. Process in a food processor in small batches, until it resembles rice in texture.
3. To cook the rice-like cauliflower, transfer onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 mins. Remove cooked cauliflower rice from the oven, transfer to a large bowl lined with a tea towel, and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
4. Pick up the tea towel and try and squeeze as much of the liquid out as you can.
5. To make the dough, increase oven temperature to 200°C. In a medium mixing bowl whisk the eggs with dried herbs, salt and pepper for 10 seconds. Add cheese and squeezed cauliflower rice. Combine well with a fork.
6. Line the same baking sheet with new parchment paper or silicone mat and spray with cooking spray. Transfer cauliflower pizza dough in the middle and flatten with your hands until thin pizza crust forms.
7. Bake the plain crust for 20 minutes, carefully flip with spatula and bake for a few more minutes.
8. Next, add your toppings and bake again (only 5-10 minutes) until cooked and the cheese on top turns golden brown.
