Cauli Pizza
Hmm Pizza. I love pizza and if you’re a Pizza lover you won’t be disappointed in this very versatile and delicious Cauli Pizza recipe which is shown here with goats cheese and roasted beets.
I used to only eat very thin crispy pizzas as I’d always feel strange if I ate regular pizza. Mostly a massive dip in energy and some bloating. Oh hindsight is a wonderful thing!
When I first went gluten-free my husband made delicious gf pizzas- find it here. But since going grain free we haven’t experimented with different flours.
I have to admit that as much as I love cauliflowers, cauli pizza somehow didn’t do it for me. It seemed to dip into the healthy eating hippy 70’s feel style food that I was sometimes force fed as a I child and was always flavourless and everything I hate about healthy eating. (OK I know 70’s is bang on trend now but you know what I mean) This is a whole new world of pizza and brilliantly simple.
It’s taken a while for me to come round to the idea of trying my own. And I must admit my first attempt was everything I feared cauli Pizza might be – not helped by the smell of lots of ground up cauliflowers that left the whole house stinking of old farts! Nice.
But I’m glad I did whizz up huge quantities of cauliflower as after a few attempts I hit gold and here is the recipe and I promise it doesn’t taste like 70’s mushed up vegetables. Even my husband who had been equally dubious about the idea loved his.

PIZZA BASE

- Place in the oven to cook for approx. 20 mins – until slightly golden and crisp.
- Take out of the oven and add your sauce and pre-cooked toppings before placing back in the oven for a further 5 final mins.
