Mouth Watering Grain Free Pizza

Going grain and gluten free does not mean that you need to avoid pizza.. Well not in my world. This delicious recipe is guilt free, packed full of nutrients and is without grain or gluten so easy on your digestive system. Once you get the hang of making the base it is quite simple to put together and makes the kitchen smell amazing. Give it a try. Please note that you may need a knife and fork as the base is not as firm as gluten based pizzas.

Ingredients

1/2 Cauliflower Head (I often use 1/2 cup of pumpkin instead of cauliflower)
1/2 Cup Ground Almonds (or use 1/4 cup besan flour and 1/2 cup ground almonds for a firmer base that does not crumble as much)
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1 tbsp Dried Oregano
3 Organic Eggs
1 tsp Himalayan salt
1 tsp Cracked Black pepper
2 tsp Turmeric powder
1 tsp Cumin powder (optional)

Method for base

Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees.
Chop Cauliflower (or pumpkin) into big chunks. Steam until soft.
Place Cauli into a cheesecloth or almond milk bag and squeeze liquid out of the cauli. If using pumpkin there is no need to squeeze the water out.
Place cauliflower (or pumpkin) and remainder of ingredients into a large bowel and mix well.
Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread base mixture. Medium thickness.
Bake at 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Sauce

1/2 cup Sundried tomato
1 tsp Fresh or dried Rosemary
1/2 Cup Olive Oil

Note - for minimal fuss you can use an organic tomato paste. Choose a blend that contains minimal ingredients.

Method

Blend all ingredients together and spread thinly onto base of pizza.
