Did you know that flourless pizza can be made with cauliflower? It's not a dough prepared with alternative or gluten-free flours, but a cauliflower-based mixture that is then topped as desired with tomato, mozzarella and much more, just like a real pizza.
This recipe is a low carb idea for those who are on a diet but don’t want to deprive themselves of the taste of a good pizza every now and then. It’s also a tasty and light alternative for those who are intolerant to flour and want to try something new.
There are two recipes for flourless pizza. One involves the use of whole eggs and the other chopped almonds and egg white.
The consistency will obviously not be identical to that of a classic pizza prepared with a leavened dough base, but it will still be very crunchy, and the taste of cauliflower won’t be too invasive: a must-try!
Making pizza without flour is very easy, but you need to be careful about how you use the cauliflower. After properly washing it and removing the leaves and stems, dry it with kitchen paper and chop it really finely. It’s important to dry it properly otherwise the dough will not be crunchy.
If you use almonds, also chop them finely, or opt for the already reduced flour.
Recipe with eggs
Chop very finely a washed cauliflower with the leaves removed and then add two beaten eggs and enough Parmesan cheese to reach a fairly pasty consistency.
Season with a pinch of salt and place this mixture on a well-oiled baking tray by pressing it with your hands. Cook for 30 minutes at 300°.
Then top with tomato puree and mozzarella or whatever you prefer and cook for another 10 minutes.
Recipe with almonds
Finely chop again a properly washed and dried cauliflower with the leaves removed.
With the cauliflower add 40 g of finely chopped almonds, a pinch of salt and dried oregano.
Add an egg white to this mixture and mix together.
Then cook as per the previous recipe.
