Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200C and line a tray with baking paper. Spray the paper with olive oil spray and place in the oven to heat up.
- Cut the cauliflower florets and discard the stalk.
- Grate the cauliflower using a food processor until it resembles rice.
- Place in a microwave safe container and cover with plastic wrap, microwave for 8 minutes.
- Allow the cauliflower to cool and then pour it into a tea towel.
- Wring the water out of the tea towel until your cauliflower looks dry. Place in a bowl.
- Add the remaining ingredients and mix with your hands.
- Place the dough on the baking tray and flatten out with your hands into a pizza shape.
- Bake in the oven until golden brown – this can take from 10-20 minutes depending on your oven so best to keep an eye on it.
- Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly.
- Top with your favourite toppings – try tomato paste, red onion, red capsicum, sliced bocconcini cheese and a sprinkling of fresh chives.
- Bake in the oven until the crusts are golden and the topping has melted to your liking.
- Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
