Ingredients
1 medium sized head of cauliflower (3 cups once chopped up in the food processor)
2 TBSP almond flour
1 TBSP coconut oil
1 egg
1/4 TSP salt
1/2 TSP dried basil
1/2 TSP dried oregano
–
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 230 deg celsius
Cut one big square of non-stick baking paper or greased baking paper

Wash and throughly dry the cauliflower
–
Directions
Discard most of the cauliflower stem and pulse the florets in a food processor until you get a powdery snow like quality.
Transfer the cauliflower snow to a covered pot and cook on a medium heat for around 5 minutes. Dump cooked cauliflower onto a clean tea towel and allow to cool.
Once cool enough to handle wrap the snow up in the tea towel and ring the water out of it, squeezing out as much water as possible!
In a bowl place the cauliflower and mix in the spices, almond flour, coconut oil and egg. Use your hands to ensure best mixing.
Place the mixture on the baking paper and press it firmly and tightly into a crust shape before transferring it onto the hot pizza stone or baking tray.
BAKE FOR ABOUT 12 MINUTES, or until it starts to turn golden brown and the edges crisp up
Top with your favourite toppings, serve and devour!

Tips to tweak
Vegan base – substitute eggs for chia mixture: 1/4 cup of chia seeds + 3/4 cup of water, stirred well and refrigerated for 15 mins before use.
Fluffier base – add more eggs
Crunchier base – add extra almond flour and coconut oil and increase cooking time
Cheesy base – add 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
