Ingredients

Instructions

Roasted Cauliflower

  • Preheat oven to 400f. Toss cauliflower florets with with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Roast until lightly charred, about 10 minutes. Let cool before topping pizza.

Pizza

  • Watch the video for the full how to!
  • Preheat your Ooni Pizza Oven for at least 30 minutes, I like to heat the center of the oven deck to around 850f before loading this style of pizza.
  • Begin building the pizza by applying 2-3oz (you just want a thin slick) of tomato sauce (I use a ladle) to the stretched dough. Sprinkle with oregano.
  • Top with sliced shallots and fresh mozzarella. You can tear the mozzarella into marble sized chunks directly onto the pizza or cube or cut into strips ahead of time.
  • Top with a generous amount of roasted cauliflower. Breaking up any especially large pieces.
  • Drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake in your Ooni pizza oven till fully baked and nicely colored (I aim for a 3-4 minute bake for a more crispy bottom) Watch the video for the real time bake!
  • Let the crust set on a wire rack for a least 20 seconds. Top with Castillo Spanish Pimentón (Spanish smoked hot paprika). Slice, serve immediately. I serve my pizza on this 14" Wooden Pizza Peel.

Notes

In the Roasted Cauliflower Pizza Video I’m using the 14″ Pizza Peel from Ooni to load the pizzas and this 12″ Perforated Peel is currently being used as my turning peel. I always let my pizzas rest for a short while to ensure the crust doesn’t get soggy, they kick it on this half sheet pan rack set. I use this pizza cutter. I serve my pizza on this 14″ Wooden Pizza Peel.
