Because a pizza always feels very good , and since sometimes it is difficult for the youngest to put a cauliflower in their mouths (it has happened to all of us) what better way to achieve it than “hiding” it in such an appetizing recipe?

Cauliflower has a high mineral content (especially potassium and calcium, and to a lesser extent magnesium), it also provides vitamin C and folic acid and a good amount of fiber. On the blog you have a recipe that you may also like, such as my famous fritters or cauliflower gratin .

As we will see, it is very easy to get a base for a pizza with all those properties, the trick is to work the dough until it has a uniform texture and that allows us to give it the proper shape, and chop the cauliflower very well so that it bonds properly !

Ready? Close the kitchen door so that the children are not suspicious and surprise them with a pizza that will also keep them healthy and strong.

Preparation of the pizza dough. Cauliflower base

1. We wash and drain the cauliflower. We break it into small buds and grate. We put it in the glass of a mincer or food processor.
2. Crush until it has a fine texture, so that there are no large pieces of cauliflower without mincing. You should get like a cauliflower rice. You can do it with a knife but it will take a little longer.
3. We put the cauliflower in the microwave for 10 minutes in a pan (it depends a lot on how tender it is) and then transfer it to a clean kitchen towel.
4. Close the cloth on top of the cauliflower and try to get all the water out of the cauliflower. We reserve.
5. In a large bowl, add the crushed cauliflower, the ground almonds, the egg, cheese to melt and another garlic powder, sprinkle with salt, Provencal herbs and freshly ground black pepper.
6. With the help of a spatula we mix the ingredients very well, until we have a uniform, moist and manageable dough.
7. We cover a cookie sheet with paper.
8. We take small portions of the dough and place them on the paper.
9. We crush them until they have a thickness of less than one centimeter and make a more or less circular shape.
10. We preheat the oven to 250º C. Make it very hot before putting the pizza in the oven.

Pizza Baking and Final Presentation

1. Bake at 200º C for about 20 minutes in the middle tray with temperature up and down.
2. We remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Once the time has passed, our pizza base will be golden, we take it out of the oven.
3. We cover with our favorite ingredients. In this case, we have opted for rolled mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, some basil leaves and one more handful of cheese to melt.
4. We put in the oven 5 more minutes, until the top has cooked.

We serve immediately, this pizza holds perfectly until the next day in the fridge, but it is delicious right out of the oven!
