Hands up if you love cauliflower pizza?! Me too! This guy was a uh ha moment – something I have never thought to do before – substitute the almond meal in the usual recipe for LSA. Boy was I glad I tried that!

- Make a well in the centre and add the eggs.
- Use your hands to pull the dry ingredients towards the middle until everything is combined and you can shape it into a ball.
- It should be more loose and sticky than a traditional pizza dough.

For the toppings:
- While the base is baking, prepare your veges.

To assemble:
