Paleo Pizza Base


Hello faithful readers

So i attempted a cauliflower pizza base a few nights ago for dinner and i thought it was really YUM, unfortunately i did not squeeze enough water out of the base and so it was a bit soggy but still good flavour :-)

Here is the recipe, let me know if you got a crispy result and how

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4 pieces (it's a 12" pizza. Good for 2 to share)

Ingredients
  • 2 Cups Grated Cauliflower ($4.00/head, 2 cups turned out to be about 1/2 a large head)
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese for the crust 
  •  + 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella OR 1/3 cup cottage cheese to be easier on the tummy (shoutout to my fellow lactards!) 
  • 1/4 cup tomato sauce 
  • Whatever clean toppings you want (we used mushrooms, red bell pepper, onion and arugula)

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Grate your cauliflower- you can do this with a regular grater, a food processor, or with the Grate setting on the blender. Once you have 2 cups of grated cauliflower dump it onto a paper towel and wrap it up in 2 layers of paper towels and squeeeezzzeee all the water out- this is SO important if you want crispy pizza crust, otherwise the crust is soggy. Once you have squeezed out as much water as possible, combine the dried out grated cauliflower with the egg, garlic and oregano and mix it together. Flatten it out onto a parchment paper covered baking sheet. Put the crust into the oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes pull it out, slather (gross word but I can't think of a better way to say it) the tomato sauce onto it, top with the cottage or mozzarella cheese and your toppings of choice. Cook for an 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

God Bless y'all
