“I know I am coming late to the cauliflower-crust pizza, but I wanted to try it myself and develop a recipe that is tasty and works! Follow my version below and your gut will thank you. It’s not only high in fibre, but with the addition of low carb toppings, you could fool yourself that you are having The Real Thing. 1 pizza = 2 servings, and it comes in at 11g carbs per serving (including toppings). If you aren’t convinced, try out my Fathead Pizza Base, which is just as delicious!” – Monya

More on Cauliflower-crust Pizza with Pepperoni…

Cauliflower and almond flour are both versatile ingredients that offer various health benefits. Cauliflower is low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent choice for those looking to follow a low-carb diet. It is a good source of dietary fibre, which promotes digestive health. It also helps maintain regular bowel movements which may aid in weight management by promoting feelings of fullness.

Cauliflower is also packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin B6, folate, and potassium. These nutrients are important for overall health and well-being. It contains antioxidants like glucosinolates and isothiocyanates. These are known to help protect your cells from oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
 
Almond flour is a popular gluten-free flour alternative for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. It is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, particularly oleic acid, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease when consumed in moderation.
 
Almond flour also contains protein, which is essential for muscle maintenance and repair. It can be especially beneficial for those following vegetarian or vegan diets. Almond flour is a good source of several essential nutrients, including vitamin E, magnesium, and manganese. Vitamin E is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative damage.

Calories: 484kcal | Carbohydrates: 11g | Protein: 26g | Fat: 38g

Equipment

• kitchen scale
• mini food processor / chopper
• whisk
• muslin / cheesecloth
• pizza stone & cutter (optional)

Ingredients

• 300 g (10.6 oz) blitzed cauliflower florets
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 TB olive oil
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 70 g (2.5 oz) almond flour
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 50 g (1.8 oz) grated mozzarella
• 50 g (1.8 oz) mushrooms, sliced
• 6 slices pepperoni
• small handful rocket (arugula)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). This is 200°C for conventional ovens (or 400°F / gas mark 6).
• (To make the cauliflower rice, simply blitz cauliflower florets using a food processor. Your yield weight should be 300g / 10.6oz)
• Cook the blitzed cauliflower in the microwave on high for 6 minutes. Remove and tip onto muslin (cheesecloth). Allow to cool else it will be difficult to handle. Using the muslin, squeeze and discard all the liquid from the cauliflower as much as possible (this a very important step).
• Place the cauliflower into a bowl along with the dried oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, olive oil, beaten egg and almond flour. Mix well and season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Form a ball of dough with the mixture and place onto a tray (or pizza stone) lined with baking paper. Use clean hands to press down and shape into a round shape (of even height) to resemble a round pizza. Place in the oven for 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, remove the pizza and scatter over the grated mozzarella. Arrange the mushrooms and pepperoni on top and return the pizza to the oven for an additional 10 minutes. (You may want to increase the oven temperature to max for the last 5 minutes to really get that cheese bubbling – just keep an eye on it to ensure the base doesn’t burn.)
• Remove the pizza and top with fresh rocket. Serve immediately. Delicious!
