Instructions
Preheat oven to 180C (350F).
Make the Cauliflower Pizza Bases
Chop the cauliflower into small florets and steam until very soft (about 8-10 mins).
Pulse the steamed cauliflower in the food processor to get a kind of cauliflower rice.
Wrap the cauliflower rice in the middle of a tea towel and twist to squeeze out as much water as you possibly can.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a mixing bowl and add the egg, oregano, and season with salt and black pepper. Mix well.
Draw a plate-sized circle on a piece of baking parchment.
Divide the cauliflower mix in two and place half on the baking parchment in the middle of the circle.
Place another piece of baking parchment on top and roll out into required shape and size.
Bake in the oven for about 5-8 minutes until it starts to dry out.
When it is dry enough, slide a fish slice under it and flip it over. Bake again for another 2-5 minutes to dry out the underneath.
Make the Tomato Sauce
While the Cauliflower Pizza Base is cooking you can make the tomato sauce.
Peel and finely dice the onion and crush the garlic.
Heat the olive oil over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until it becomes translucent.
Then, add the passata, oregano and season well with salt and pepper.
Cook on a low heat to thicken until you're ready to use.
Make the pizza
Add a few tablespoons of the tomato sauce to the pizza base and spread out to the edges.
Add your favourite toppings, olives, chicken, peppers, pineapple, mushrooms, pepperoni - whatever takes your fancy!
Slice or rip up the mozzarella ball and top the pizza with pieces of the cheese.
Drizzle some olive oil over the top and bake in the oven for around 5-8 mins until the cheese has melted!
