This cauliflower crust pizza with mozzarella is made without flour, using just cauliflower, eggs, cheese and seasonings for the base. The cauliflower is finely processed, heated in the oven for 20 minutes, then thoroughly squeezed in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess water. The puree is mixed with shredded mozzarella, eggs, salt and pepper, spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and baked for 18 to 20 minutes. It's an unconventional pizza that will appeal to the whole family.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Wash the cauliflower, break it into small florets and process in a food processor until very fine.

  2. Transfer the cauliflower puree to a baking dish and place in the oven for 20 minutes. Remove it, transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess water.

  3. Mix the puree with the shredded cheese, eggs and seasonings. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, spread the cauliflower mixture over it and bake for 18–20 minutes.

  4. Remove the pizza, sprinkle with more cheese and return to the oven until the cheese melts. Cut the baked pizza into slices.

Tip: Use firm block mozzarella in the crust, not soft mozzarella packed in liquid, which would release water and cause the cauliflower base to fall apart when sliced.
