Best Vegan Cauliflower Pizza

The Best Vegan Cauliflower Pizza - Gluten Free

Naturopath Lauren Glucina
A healthy pizza made from cauliflower, onions and chickpea flour, infused with fresh rosemary. Naturally gluten free and vegan. Makes 1 large pizza, but really, is enough for 2. Note, pizza 'dough' needs to stand for 20 minutes - this is not included in the active prep time.

Ingredients
  

FOR THE CRUST:

  • Half a head of cauliflower thick stalk and outer leaves removed (mine came to 470g)
  • 2 large onions peeled and quartered (mine came to 425g)
  • ½ cup chickpea flour
  • 2 tablespoons flax meal
  • 6 tablespoons water
  • 1 heaped tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • Leaves from a few sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse sea salt

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  • Homemade roasted tomato sauce
  • Fresh Rocket
  • Avocado
  • Squeeze of lemon
  • Drizzle of quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat oven at 200˚C.
  • Chop the cauliflower into small florets and steam till you can just pierce with a fork, then let cool.
  • Add cauliflower and onions to a food processor and blitz till fine, then transfer to a nut milk bag or place in fine cheesecloth, and gently press out all of the excess water. Don't skip this step - it helps ensure your pizza isn't soggy.
  • Meanwhile, add the 6 tablespoons water to the flax meal in a small bowl and let stand for 5 minutes, this is your egg replacer.
  • In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and use your hands to work them together into a dough. Let stand for 20 minutes to allow flax and chickpea flour to absorb any remaining water.
  • Line a pizza tray with baking paper, and press dough evenly over the surface.
  • Fan bake for 25 minutes, at which point, you will want to remove from the oven, slide the pizza onto a plate, flip it back onto the pizza tray, and spread a thick layer of tomato sauce. I have topped mine with fresh rocket,avocado and lemon, but if you want to add other vegetables/mushrooms, now's your chance.
  • Return to oven for another ten minutes (total oven time, 35 minutes), then enjoy!

Notes

This recipe will make 1 large pizza and serve 2. If you would like a yummy (and healthy!) salad to serve it with, try my Pumpkin, Chickpea & Rocket Salad with Raw Cashew Coriander Cream.
