Margherita pizza with cauliflower crust
Instructions
Tips
There are a few key steps to getting a crispy cauliflower crust. The first thing to do is to remove as much moisture as possible from the baked cauliflower before forming the crust. This will prevent the pizza base from becoming soggy and soft. Use a dishtowel or cloth to wring out the moisture. Make sure you bake the crust twice. Once before adding the toppings and then again after the toppings have been added. This method will ensure you get the crust extra crispy, creating the perfect texture for the pizza base. Also, be sure to use fresh and high-quality vegetables and herbs for the best result.

Make it your own
Margherita pizza is a classic pizza beloved by many, but sometimes you just want to switch things up. Instead of fresh basil, add dollops of basil pesto on top, or, instead of slices of tomato, add chunks of sun-dried tomatoes. This way, you get the classic Margherita flavours but in a new, interesting way. As long as you have basil, cheese, and tomato, you can never go wrong with your variations.
You can also use our easy Margherita pizza recipe to make mini pizzas. Instead of forming one big cauliflower crust pizza, divide it into smaller portions, press it flat and add the same toppings. These mini pizzas can be baked in the oven at the same temperature as the full-sized pizza. It is a fun and creative way to enjoy the classic Margherita pizza flavours.
