522. Vegan cauliflower crust pizza


INGREDIENTS
- Makes 1 large pizza
- 1 cauliflower
- ½ cup almond meal
- 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- ⅓ cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- Herbs and spices of your choice (I used: 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs + 1 teaspoon sweet paprika)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven to 160* degrees.
- First, mix the chia seeds and water, stir and place in fridge. It will become a gel consistency which will hold your pizza together.
- Chop off the florets of the cauliflower and in a food processor blend until it becomes a rice like consistency then transfer into a saucepan.
- Pour boiling water into saucepan and cook the cauliflower for 5 minutes, turn of the heat and drain out water then place in freezer to cool for 10-15 minutes.
- This next step is important! get your cheese cloth and place your cauliflower rice inside and squeeze all the water out with your hands then place in mixing bowl.
- Add in almond meal, nutritional yeast, garlic, oregano and sweet paprika, mix together then mix in your chia seed gel from fridge, place in fridge for about 10 mins.
- line a tray with baking paper and place the dough on top. With your hands, push down dough making it even all over and place in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Top with your favourite pizza toppings! I topped mine with fresh tomatoes, my Beetroot Hommus, avocado, basil, rocket, pepper, chilli flakes, sesame seeds and lemon juice.
- Cut with a sharp knife and be carful when pulling it apart as it's softer than a normal pizza base and can fall apart easily.
