How to make Cauliflower Pizza Crust:
- Here we have the ingredients for this cauliflower pizza, just for the base. For a medium pizza, enough for two people, half a cauliflower is enough if it is large, or a whole small one. Grated cheese, which can be mozzarella alone or a combination of mozzarella and another cheese, is, in effect, also for the dough. For the filling you only have to put imagination; in my case, I have included tomato sauce, romance sauce, mental cheese and blue cheese, as well as oregano.
- First of all, we clean the cauliflower, discard the leaves and grate the white mass with a manual grater or with the chopper. To prepare this homemade pizza dough, next we cook the grated cauliflower in the microwave for eight minutes at maximum power.
- Tip: Heat the oven to 180ºC.
- Now we beat an egg and add it to the cauliflower, as well as the grated cheese and a little salt. Mix well to form a homogeneous paste.
- We line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread the cauliflower dough on it, in the shape we want. As a thickness, I advise you not to exceed one centimeter.
- We put the vegetarian pizza base in the oven and let it cook for 20 minutes at 180ºC, with heat above and below.
- The cauliflower pizza is ready, now you just need to add the desired filling on top. In my case, I have opted for a vegetarian pizza: I have spread a first layer of tomato sauce, then I have added another of romance sauce, and on top I have sprinkled grated cheese (a mixture of mozzarella and mental), to finish with some pieces of blue cheese. With the oven at the same temperature but selecting only the grill, I have baked it for five minutes.
- This is the result of cauliflower pizza dough with a tomato, romance and cheese filling.
