Method
1.Preheat the oven to 200C fan.
2. To make the base, blitz the cauliflower head in a food processor to reach a crumb-like consistency. Add this to a large mixing bowl along with the ground almonds, oats, and dried herbs. Combine well.
3. Add the beaten eggs and mix everything thoroughly to form a dough.
4. Split the dough into two evenly sized balls and place on a lined baking tray brushed with a little olive oil. Using your hands, press down evenly to form a thin base (~0.5cm) and pinch around the edge to form a crust. Blind bake for 20 mins.
5. Meanwhile, put all ingredients for tomato sauce into a food processor and pulse a few times until fully combined. Spread mixture over the cooked pizza bases, add your chosen toppings and pop back in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the toppings are melted/crispy.
6. Serve with a fresh rocket salad and enjoy!
