Mozzarella & Mushroom Cauliflower Crust Pizza
A delicious no-flour cauliflower pizza recipe topped with mozzarella cheese and mushrooms. It's very easy to make and a family favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 large cauliflower
- 200 g crumbled or grated cheese you can use a variety of cheeses like salted feta cheese, goat cheese, cheddar or parmesan
- 300 ml tomato sauce
- 300 g mozzarella
- 100 g sliced mushrooms
- Fresh basil
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, cook the cauliflower until soft and the florets are easy to pull apart (at least 15 minutes).
- Drain the cauliflower well as follows: place the cauliflower in a clean cloth and squeeze firmly enough to get all the liquid out. If the cauliflower is cooked well enough, the florets will come apart easily, like crumbly dough.
- Add crumbled or grated cheese and mix. Squeeze gently with your hands, as you would a dough.
- Divide the dough in two (if you want to make 2 smaller pizzas, if not you can use it all for one pizza).
- Spread the dough into circles on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Press gently on the edges to get rid of any small cracks.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 200 ºC/390 °F in a preheated oven.
- Once golden and brown, remove the pizza crust from the oven and add the toppings: tomato sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms and basil.
- Bake for another 10 minutes at 200ºC/390°F or until the mozzarella has melted.
- Allow to cool for 3-5 minutes before slicing, the slices will still be slightly soft but will harden as they cool.
