Cauliflower Pizza Crust Buhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjcouBNrxtMbby Real Voice
Eh hen. You want make I talk true? First time I make dis thing, my wife she look me like say I don mad. E come out like sponge. Wet sponge. I put cheese, e no save am. I put for oven again, e still soft. She say “Bubby, wetin be dis?” I say pizza. She laugh. I nearly throw pan for wall.
But I no agree. I try again. And again. And again.
Now I don master am.
Wetin you need:
- Cauliflower one head. Big one. No small one wey dey look like say e don suffer.
- Egg one.
- Mozzarella one cup. Dry one. No wet one.
- Parmesan small. Quarter cup. Grate am yourself abeg.
- Salt small.
- Garlic powder small.
- Italian seasoning if you get. If not, use oregano.
- Pepper.
How I do am:
First, cut cauliflower. Remove leaf, remove big stem. Break am small small. Put for food processor. Pulse am. Make e like rice. No make e like powder.
If you no get food processor? Grater. Your hand go pain. Too bad.
Put dis rice for bowl. Microwave for five minute. E go soft. E go hot.
Now dis one na secret. After e cool small, pour am for clean kitchen towel. Cloth. No paper.
Wrap am. Twist am. Wring am like say you dey kill snake. Water go pour. Keep twisting. Keep squeezing. Squeeze until your hand weak. Squeeze until no water dey come again.
Biko, if you no squeeze well, your pizza go be mess. I don do am. I cry.
Now put dis dry cauliflower for clean bowl. Add egg. Add cheese. Add all spices. Use your hand mix am. Your hand. No spoon.
E go feel like wet sand. When you press, e go hold.
If e still wet? You no squeeze well. Add almond flour if you get. If not, start again. Sorry.
Preheat oven 425. Put parchment paper for baking sheet.
Pour the mixture for paper. Use your hand spread am. Make am thin. Like quarter inch. No make middle thick. Even am.
Brush edge with oil. Small.
Bake for 25 to 30 minute. Until e turn golden brown. No be white. No be black. Golden.
Take am out. Add sauce. Biko, small sauce. If you pour plenty, e go turn soggy again.
Add cheese. Add topping. But if your topping dey wet (like mushroom, fresh tomato), fry am first small to remove water.
Put back for oven. Bake 8 to 10 minute. Till cheese melt.
Take am out. Wait five minute. No cut am now. Wait.
Now cut. Eat.
If e spoil:
- E break? You no squeeze well. Next time squeeze more.
- Middle soft? You make am too thick. Next time thin am.
- Edge burn? Your oven too hot. Or crust no even.
- No taste? You forget salt. Add salt.
Storage:
Fridge three day. Reheat for oven or air fryer. No microwave. Microwave go kill am.
Freeze? Yes. Bake crust first without topping. Cool am. Wrap tight. Freeze two months. When you want, thaw, add topping, bake.
Biko last word:
Dis thing no be regular pizza. E no go be stretchy like dough. But e go be crispy and e go hold your topping if you squeeze dat cauliflower well.
Everything na about water. Squeeze am. Squeeze am again. When you tink say you don finish, squeeze one more time.
