Method

To make the base:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas mark 4. Cover a large baking tray with non-stick parchment paper.
2. In a small bowl mix together the flaxseeds with the water. Leave to one side, for about 5 minutes, until you have a gloopy consistency.
3. Place the cauliflower florets into a food processor and pulse until they crumble and the cauliflower looks like rice. Place the cauliflower crumble into a nut milk bag or a cotton cloth and squeeze out all the excess water. This is a very important step, do not skip otherwise the pizza base will result in being too soggy!
4. Add the drained cauliflower to a large bowl and add in the flour, lemon juice, water, garlic powder, salt, oregano and flaxseed mixture. Mix everything together until you have a slightly sticky dough. Cover a large baking tray with parchment paper and spread the cauliflower dough into a round pizza shape.
5. Bake in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. Make sure to flip the base halfway through cooking to ensure both sides cook evenly.

To make the pesto:

1. Simply place all the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until creamy and smooth. Add a dash of water or extra olive oil if the consistency is too thick.
2. Remove the pizza from the oven and spread the pesto in an even layer. Place the pizza back in the oven for another 5 minutes. Remove then add the toppings and enjoy while still warm!
