Broccoli Pizza Base
Ma Nourriture
South Africans, especially Capetonians, are obsessed with anything cauli. Local foodie hero, Prof. Tim Noakes brought us low carb/'banting' deliciousness that went far beyond trendy. Low carb breads, pizza, brownies, you name it, became so ingrained in our world that it seemed bizarre not to find any them on menus in the UK.
I've been trying to re-create them myself with varying degrees of success but I hadn't tried pizza yet. It so happened that when bestie had a craving for pizza we had broccoli in the fridge not cauliflower. So I decided to go rogue, did some research and ... WHO knew?! Broccoli pizza base is a thing too!
The thing I love most about this recipe is that it's super easy to make. It's literally just all ingredients mixed and magically baked into healthy heaven.
I've included my topping too, but we'd love to see what you top it with. Share with us on Insta.
Note: as a veggie base, the texture is soft. It's easier to eat with a knife and fork.
