So it may not be as good as regular pizza from a restaurant but this recipe is for sure a fun way to get your veggies & feel slightly better about eating an entire personal sized pizza... Plus with homemade pizzas the topping possibilities are endless! Some of my fave combos have been pesto/arugula/avocado/goat cheese, brie/pear/fig jam, and of course the class margherita which is my go-to pizza anywhere. Hoping to try a peach/burrata/balsamic glaze combo soon! Ps this recipe can be made with either broccoli or cauliflower depending on your flavor preference! The broccoli has more of the veggie taste which I tend to prefer, while the cauliflower is more neutral :)
Ingredients (makes 2 pizza crusts):
1 large head of broccoli or cauliflower cut into florets
3 eggs
1/2 cup grated parmesan or pecorino cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
2 tsp basil
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Rice the broccoli or cauliflower in a food processor, then microwave in a large bowl for 3-5 minutes until steamed.
Let cool (so you don't burn yourself in the next step like I've definitely done before...)
Transfer riced broccoli/cauliflower to a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as you can into the sink.
Put the dried broccoli/cauliflower back into the bowl and add remaining ingredients. Mix well.
Transfer half of the dough to each baking sheet and shape into 2 approximately 9-inch pizza crusts.
Bake for 15 mins or until the edges are slightly browned.
Take the crusts out of the oven and add your toppings, then bake for another 5-10 mins to melt the cheese and voilà!
