    Guilt-free pizzas? Yes, please!

    August 3, 2017

    Say what you may about pizzas but it’s a meal in a slice, which means it’s super convenient especially when you are a time-pressed mum trying to feed a hungry horde.

    However, conventional pizzas tend to be high in fat and salt, making them quite the calorie-trap. So, can you enjoy a cheesy slice sans the guilt? Yes, you can!

    Below are two pizza crusts you’ve got to try.

    Oh, a note on toppings: Aim for lots of greens, fresh seafood and lean meat, and cut down on the smoked meats and sausages.

    Quinoa pizza crust
    Crust
    1 cup
    quinoa, cover with water and soak for at least 8 hours
    1 tsp
    apple cider vinegar
    1 tsp
    dried oregano
    A pinch
    salt
    A dash
    ground black pepper
    Some olive oil to coat the pan
    Toppings (amount is up to individual)
    2 tbsp
    pesto
    Peeled
    artichoke heart
    Fresh spinach
    Shredded mozzarella
    A pinch
    salt
    Shaved parmesan
    Steps
    1

    Set your oven to 190C. Lightly coat the base of an 8-inch cake pan (if you have a pizza dish, great!) with some olive oil. Set aside.

    2

    Drain the quinoa and put it into a food processor fitted with a blade. Add the apple cider vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Blitz everything until you get a paste similar to pancake mix.

    3

    Using a tablespoon or offset spatula, spread the paste evenly on the cake pan. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the base is firm to the touch.

    4

    Remove the crust from the oven and add the toppings. Pop the whole thing back into the oven until the cheese has melted. This will take 5 - 8 minutes.

    5

    Remove from oven, slice, and enjoy!

    cauliflower pizza crust

    Cauliflower pizza crust
    Crust
    1 small head
    cauliflower (you want enough to yield 2 cups)
    A pinch
    salt
    1/2 tsp
    garlic powder
    1/2 tsp
    dried oregano
    A dash
    ground black pepper
    1/8 cup
    shredded parmesan cheese
    1/8 cup
    mozzarella cheese
    1
    egg
    Toppings (amount is up to individual)
    2 tbsp
    tomato paste
    Tuna flakes in water
    Fresh spinach
    Chopped garlic
    Shredded mozzarella
    Steps
    1

    Set your oven to 200C. Lightly coat the base of an 8-inch cake pan (if you have a pizza dish, great!) with some olive oil. Set aside.

    2

    Blitz the cauliflower florets until you get a sand-like texture. Steam the processed florets until tender. You may also microwave the florets for 4 minutes.

    3

    Leave the florets on a tea towel to cool. Once cool enough to handle, wring the florets and squeeze out as much water as you can.

    4

    Add the wrung-out florets and rest of the crust ingredients into a food processor. Blitz everything until you get a dough.

    5

    Pat the dough into the cake pan. Make it as compact as possible so your crust doesn’t end up too crumbly.

    6

    Bake the crust for about 15 - 20 minutes or until the edges start to brown a little.

    7

    Remove from the oven and add the toppings. Return the pizza into the oven and bake until the cheese turns golden brown.

    8

    Remove from oven, slice, and enjoy!

    Note: This crust will be floppy so be prepared to eat this pizza with cutlery.
