Method

  • Heat oven to 200C. Pulse the cauliflower chunks in a food processor until finely chopped, like rice. Transfer to a bowl and add 2 tbsp water, cover with cling film and microwave on high for 5-6 mins or until softened.
  • Remove the cauliflower from the bowl and pour into a sieve, straining out the excess liquid. The more liquid you can get out of it, the crispier the crust will be.
  • Mix the cauliflower with the eggs, oregano, coconut oil and salt.
  • Line a baking tray with baking parchment and grease with oil. Mound the cauliflower mix into the centre of the tray, then use a spoon and your hands to spread out into a 30cm round. Make it a little thicker at the edges to create a ‘crust’. Bake for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked right through.
  • Remove from the oven and add the toppings
  • Spread the tomato puree you are using on the crust. Evenly distribute all the toppings over the sauce and return to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Slice with a pizza cutter and serve.
