If you'd never heard about pizza before and someone served this to you, I think you'd really enjoy it. Texture aside, the flavor of this final product was very pizza-like, and I'll be doing further experiments to be sure.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 head cauliflower, cored and separated into florets
½ cup water
½ teaspoon salt
2 ounces fresh goat cheese
½ ounce finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 large egg
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Puree cauliflower in a food processor until finely ground.
  • Cook ground cauliflower, water, and salt together in a skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant and most of the water evaporates, 5 to 6 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Transfer cauliflower to the center of a clean dish towel. Wrap and squeeze tightly to remove all excess moisture. You should have about 1 1/2 cups cauliflower pulp.
  • Stir cauliflower, goat cheese, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg, and cayenne pepper together in a bowl to form a soft dough. Gather dough into a ball and place in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Press dough into circle about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and set, about 40 minutes. Cool and turn crust over before topping.
