Cauliflower Pizza

The best thing about pizza is how versatile it is. You can literally put any topping on it and it will taste incredible. You've got the classic margherita, sausage and fennel, goats cheese and caramelised onion, rabbit and broccoli (sounds weird but I can confirm it's a thing in posh london pizzerias) and even chocolate...you get the gist. Basically, I couldn't live without it. And neither can The Twin. So to get around the minor issue of her being allergic to every other western foodstuff we've created a low histamine cauliflower pizza recipe that also works for all the gluten free people out there.

For those who aren't low histamine, there will be a number of other toppings ideas and recipes coming soon. You may seem sceptical, but if you're on a diet and want to still eat pizza, this is the best substitute out there.

Recipe for the base: (makes 1 large pizza)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of grated cauliflower (approx 1/2 a cauliflower) 
• 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese (if you're not low histamine then feel free to substitute a 1/4 cup of parmesan for a bit more flavour) 
• 1 cup crushed cornflakes (for gluten free you can buy gluten free cornflakes in most supermarkets)
• 1 egg 

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. 
• Grate the cauliflower using a normal cheese grater. Cook in the microwave on high for 6-8 minutes until the cauliflower is soft.
• Pour out onto some kitchen roll and squeeze out excess water. Be meticulous- this is an essential step. 
• Place into a mixing bowl and add the cornflakes, egg and cheese and mix. It's probably easiest to use a food processor. 
• Place the dough on a baking tray covered in baking paper and roll out into a pizza shape to your desired thickness. 
• Cook for 10 minutes until golden brown. Take out of the oven, add your topping and cook for a further few minutes until the topping is heated through and any cheese on the top is fully browned and melted.
