Low-carb Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Something that's been trending for a while, and I've been meaning to try, is using cauliflower as a fake carbohydrate, making it into 'rice' which can then be used instead of bread or potato. There are lots of recipes online for making it into a pizza base - and I thought I'd give it a try. It actually works! Although preparing the cauliflower takes a few stages, it's no more demanding than making a bread dough, and the finished result is surprisingly tasty. I didn't get the crispy edge that I love with bread pizzas, but I'll definitely do it again the next time I get a massive cauliflower in my weekly veg box. I made a teeny version with half the ingredients, so if you use the amounts below yours will be twice as big.

Steps

45 mins
  1. 1

    Divide the cauliflower into florets and discard the outer leaves and the core. Place in a food processor and blitz briefly until shredded into couscous size grains. You might need to do this in two batches.

  2. 2

    The recipe I was following said to place the cauliflower rice in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 5-6 minutes on high. I don't have a microwave and found another recipe where it suggested spreading thinly in a large roasting pan, rubbing in a little olive oil, and baking for 10 minutes at 200C/Gas 6. It caught slightly so I'd suggest a lower heat for about 6-8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pile the cooked cauliflower rice in the middle of a clean kitchen towel and squeeze it tightly so that all the liquid is removed. All the recipes I looked at stressed that this is really important to get a dry pizza base. I think microwaving probably creates more liquid as I didn't get that much.

  4. 4

    Place the 'rice' in a bowl and add the ground almonds, eggs, oregano and cheese. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.

  5. 5

    Place baking parchment on a baking tray and brush liberally with olive oil. Pile the pizza base mixture in the middle and then use your fingers to spread it out into a thin round.

  6. 6

    Bake in the hot oven for 15 minutes until golden.

  7. 7

    Allow to cool completely, then add your pizza toppings. I used some leftover tomato and bacon sauce I'd made for pasta and some grated Cheddar cheese and Parmesan. Place in the oven and cook for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling. Eat!

I enjoy cooking mostly because I like eating, but also because it's a great way to relax at the end of the day. I work in book publishing and especially enjoy creating cookbooks written by cooks who love cooking and sharing food rather than creating show stopping dishes that take days to put together. As Nigel Slater would say; 'we are, after all, simply making ourselves something to eat'. I live with my lovely daughter Isobel who rarely pays any kind of compliment but will occasionally admit something I've cooked was quite nice, and our dog Piper, who will eat anything.

What if I don't have a food processor? Will a blender work?
