Whole Wheat BBQ Cauliflower Pizza

Servings 1 pizza, 2 servings

Ingredients

base:

  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon yeast
  • pinch salt
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ tablespoon brown sugar

toppings:

  • 1 cauliflower
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 onion
  • ½ cup BBQ sauce
  • mozzarella - as much or as little as you want

Instructions

for the base

  • Combine all the ingredients for the base into a large bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
  • Knead with your hands for around 1-2 minutes until the dough holds together in a ball.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl and grease the bowl. Put the dough back into the bowl and cover with a cloth. Leave to rise for 3 hours - yes, 3 hours!
  • When risen, punch down and cover. Leave to rise for another 30 minutes - yes, even more rising time!
  • Punch down once again and roll out as thin as you can into a rectangle or circle - whatever shape you prefer your pizza. Place on a baking tray.

for the toppings

  • Smother the pizza base in ¼ cup of BBQ sauce.
  • Prepare the cauliflower by removing all the florets and chopping them into bite-sized pieces. Rinse and place them in a baking tray.
  • Toss the cauliflower in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast at 400F/200C for around 40 minutes, or until soft throughout and crispy on the edges.
  • Whilst the cauliflower is roasting, slice the onion and throw it in a saucepan with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Cook over a low heat, stirring regularly, for around 30 minutes, or until soft and caramelised. Scatter on top of the pizza base.
  • Toss the cooked cauliflower in the remaining ¼ cup BBQ sauce and scatter on the pizza base.
  • Slice or grate the mozzarella - as much or as little as you want - and evenly throw it over the top of the pizza.
  • Bake at 400F/200C for around 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the base is crunchy.
