Cauliflower Bianca Pizza
"When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's amore!"
If you are watching your carb intake then this cauliflower pizza is just for you! The dough will take some time to work with but just be patient because it's well worth it and so delicious!
Growing up, and still to this day I have always disliked tomato sauce. I have no idea why since I am Italian but that is just how God made me! So when I make my pizza's I normally do not make them with tomato sauce. Sorry! This pizza bianca is my ultimate favorite, obviously because there is not an ounce of tomato sauce! There is a key ingredient which makes this pizza so delicious and called pizza bianca. That ingredient would be ricotta. Ricotta is one of the best cheese's in my opinion because of it's creamy and delicate taste. It is used in a lot of Italian recipes and is originated in Italy.
INGREDIENTS:
DOUGH:
-3 cups cauliflower (grated)
-1 egg
-1/2 cup mozzarella
-drizzle of olive oil
TOPPINGS:
-1 cup ground turkey meat
-3/4 cups ricotta
-1/2 cup mozzarella
-oregano
-parsley
-red pepper chili flakes
-garlic gloves
-garlic powder
-sea salt
METHOD:
Heat up 3 cups grated cauliflower in microwave for about 8 minutes. You can buy cauliflower rice already grated or you can buy a head of cauliflower and grate yourself. After it’s cooked pour cauliflower in a tea cloth, twist and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is very timely but so very important. Once all or most of the moisture is squeezed out, transfer the cauliflower to a mixing bowl. Mix in one egg, 1/2 cup mozzarella and sea salt. Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper and drizzle a little olive oil down on the paper. Preheat oven to 425 F. Roll out dough onto baking sheet. Place dough into the oven without toppings first for 10 mins. While crust is in the oven, cook your meat and add your seasonings to it.
Remove crust from oven. Drizzle more olive oil and spread ricotta over dough leaving about an inch border for the crust. Add the rest of the mozzarella, ricotta, meat and other seasonings. Place back in oven and bake for another 12/14 minutes.
