Cauliflower Pizza
I've been working on a cauliflower pizza recipe for years. So many recipes are so delicious, but end up using a lot of ingredients that I don't usually have on hand. This recipe is pared down to ensure it's easy and quick to make.
Due to the cauliflower in the crust, this is not a similar texture to a regular pizza crust. It's a little lighter, and a little bit less chewy, but every bit delicious in its own way. I love using this for my pizza because there's a higher nutritional content than traditional pizza-cauliflower is high in Vitamin C, fibre and potassium, as well as a lower carbohydrate content. I never feel bad for indulging, and the high veggie content balances out the wine I'm usually pairing it with ;)
I make the pizza with a mediterranean topping filled with my favorite things like olives and feta, but you can choose whatever toppings you like.
INGREDIENTS
Crust:
½ medium cauliflower
1 egg
½ cup GF flour
½ cup cornmeal
1 tsp nutritional yeast
¼ tsp thyme
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp pepper
a healthy pinch of red pepper flakes
Toppings:
¼ cup pizza sauce
1 handful spinach
¼ cup olives, chopped
¼ cup goat's cheese feta
cherry tomatoes
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 F. Chop cauliflower into small, even florets. Add chopped cauliflower to food processor and chop until riced. Remove any large chunks left. Transfer the cauliflower to a bowl and stir in the rest of the crust ingredients. The dough mixture will be pretty wet. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, add crust and spread into a thin circle. Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven. Spread sauce evenly across the crust, spread spinach on top, and add the tomatoes and olives. Sprinkle feta on top, then return to the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes until spinach is wilted and feta is golden.
