The Cauliflower Pizza

The Cauliflower Pizza

I've been trying to teach myself how to cook whenever I can.

(Take note, I'm not a very good cook. That's the sad truth ~ ಥ_ಥ)

Anyways, I've been searching for healthier food and see if I could try it out. I saw this video on YouTube about using cauliflower instead of dough, and I got really curious.

It looks easy enough to do. Plus, it's healthier too. Procedures and ingredients listed down below.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 head cauliflower
• ½ cup mozzarella, shredded
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 egg
• tomato sauce
• mushrooms
• tomato slices
• pepper

PREPARATION:

1. Preheat oven to 500˚F/260˚C.

2. Remove the leaves and stem of the cauliflower and transfer pieces to a food processor.

3. Rice the cauliflower by pulsing it in the food processor, or by shredding it on a box grater.

4. Once riced, transfer to a large bowl and microwave for 4 minutes. Let it cool down for a few minutes before handling!

5. Transfer cooked cauliflower to a clean towel and wring out as much liquid as possible.

6. Once the liquid is removed from the cauliflower, place into a bowl and combine with mozzarella, oregano, basil, salt,       garlic powder, and an egg. Mix well.

7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place cauliflower mixture in the middle. Spread out the mixture and form a circle out of the cauliflower mixture, pushing along the edge to raise a “crust.”

8. Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust has become golden brown in the center and on the edges.

9. Top with your favorite pizza sauce and toppings, being careful not to overload the pizza.

10. Bake for another 5-7 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted.

11. Enjoy!

RESULTS

Well, I tried my best, right? I mean I am not exactly sure if I just made a mistake. I don't think I did, but the cauliflower "dough" just came out that way... Either way, it was a little hard to take it out from the oven since it feels like it would easily break. I did alter some of the toppings. I added a lot of onions, and three types of cheese mixed together (Because why the hell not, right?). All in all, the topping was awesome. The cauliflower though? I could still taste it a lot even with all those toppings, but it's still good in my opinion. Just make sure to shred all the cauliflower completely or you'll end up with tiny chunks in between your teeth.
