Step 1
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cook the cauliflower for 4 minutes in boiling salted water, then drain well. Once cooled, pat with a kitchen towel to dry completely, and transfer to a food processor. Blitz until it resembles couscous. Tip into a bowl, season, and stir in the egg and parmesan. Mix until it comes together. Spread onto a lined baking sheet, sprayed with oil and press into a pizza base shape using a spatula. Bake for 15-20 minutes until it is golden and feels firm.
