Tip

Makes 2 8" Pizzas

For a dairy-free alternative you can omit the parmesan cheese and it still works really well.

If you double the quantities you need to whizz the cauliflower florets for a few extra seconds, spread the cauli crumbs over both levels of your varoma and give them an extra 3 minutes of steaming time.

    I did change it around as on a strict low carb/low cal challenge.  I used the foundation though on cooking times & I've published my very own variation thanks it was delicious!

    Made this last night. Very tasty! Milled my own chickpeas, 1 min on 9 was fine. Only thing i would do differently is add garlic & rosemary to the base.

    Made this last night. It was so easy and delicious too! I doubled the recipe and only made 1 thick crust so it wasnt crunchy, next time I will make 2 crusts from 1 batch as the recipe suggests.

  • Yes you can mill your own

    Submitted by Miss Fauxmomix on 10. May 2014 - 00:10.

    Yes you can mill your own chickpeas if you dont have besan flour handy. It's 3 mins on speed 10, up to a maximum of 250gm at a time.

    The chickpea/besan flavour goes very nicely with the cauli but I imagine you could replace with an alternate flour like rice flour (or wheat flour if you don't need to be gluten free). I wouldn't use straight cornflour though.

    PS. Apology for delay in answering, I didn't get a notification.

    Can you use something to replace the Besan Flour? Can you buy dried chickpeas and mill?

    Tried this for dinner last night with a lovely head of organic cauli. Really easy and absolutely delicious. Can't wait to try other topping combinations <3
