Paleo Thermomix Cauliflower Pizza Base

I had been looking at cauliflower pizza base recipes for a while and I have finally made one in the Thermy….so without any further delay

Ingredients:

  •  1/2 a head of cauliflower
  • 1 egg
  • 50 g of good quality mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 tspn of dried oregano or herb of your choice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180 deg C

Break the cauliflower head into florets and put into the TM bowl – on closed lid pulse on Tubro 2-3 times till cauliflower resembles crumbs

Place the cauli crumbs in a microwave safe bowl with a lid and microwave on HIGH for 6-8 min (depending on the power of your microwave) – there is no need to add water

Allow to cool on the bench for 5 mins or so.

Add the cauli crumbs back to the TM bowl and add remaining ingredients – on closed lid Knead for 10-15 secs to incorporate ingredients – you may have to scrape down sides of bowl mid way through.

Spread mix out onto a baking tray that is lined with baking paper – I used my Simply Magic liner for this. I made 2 medium pizzas with this batch.

Cook for approx 10 min until golden.

Then top with your favourite toppings and cook.

For my first pizza I topped it with passata, home grown basil and mozzarella.

The second pizza I topped with caramelised onion and roast lamb topping – which I will post the recipe for shortly 😀

  1. Any idea for a good diary-free mozzarella substitute?

      Hi Aga G. – someone else asked this of me recently and I think the cheese works to bind it together so I’d say remove the cheese and use another egg in the mix instead. 😀

  2. What a great idea! Cant wait to try it. Is the base dry enough to be picked up or is it best eaten with knife and fork?

      Hi Jean, it all stays together nicely but I ate mine with a fork as it is still quite moist towards the centre…didn’t worry me though!!
