Gluten-free pizza with cauliflower base
This gluten and dairy-free pizza lets you enjoy all of the taste of regular pizza with none of the carbs. Plus, it’s not hard to make at all.
Makes: 8 slices
Ingredients:
- 1 medium cauliflower head
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 free range eggs
- 3 tbsp coconut flour (not to be confused with desiccated coconut)
- Salt and pepper
- Tomato paste
- Grated mozzarella (omit for dairy-free option)
- Cherry tomatoes
- Kalamata olives
- Sliced mushrooms
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- In a food processor, whiz the cauliflower until it becomes similar to bread crumbs.
- Transfer the cauliflower to a frying pan with the olive oil and cook for about 10 minutes on a medium heat, stirring constantly.
- When cooked and mushy-like, take off the heat and transfer into a big bowl.
- Add the eggs, coconut flour and salt and pepper to the cooked cauliflower and mix well.
- Tip the entire cauliflower mixture onto a lined oven tray.
- Using your hands, form a pizza base (round or square is up to you) about 1cm thick.
- Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until golden.
- Remove from the oven, spread the base with tomato paste then top with the mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, olives and mushrooms.
- Bake in the oven for a further 10-15 minutes, but keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn.
- To finish, top with fresh parsley and enjoy with a green salad.
