Pizza night is a regular occurrence in the household. People love our pizza. All variations. Especially this roasted cauliflower chicken pizza. If you’re a roasted cauliflower fan like me, you’ll love this pizza, which is loaded with cauliflower and lots of other really good stuff, like roasted chicken, a tangy tomato sauce, cilantro, and red onions.

Ingredients

Pizza Fixings

Olive oil
Fresh cilantro leaves to serve
4 cups Grated cheese
1/4 cup Red onion, roughly chopped
1 Medium cauliflower, chopped into small florets and roasted
2 Roasted chicken breasts, chopped or shredded

Pizza Sauce

1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Garlic powder
2 tbsp. Apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. Sugar
156 ml Water
156 ml Tomato paste

Pizza Dough

1 tsp. Sugar
1 tsp. Quick active yeast
1 cup Warm water
1 tsp. Salt
2 cups All purpose flour

Method

01

Begin by preparing your dough, roasted cauliflower and chicken. They all take roughly the same amount of time. 30-40 minutes. As a time-saver, you can prepare all the night before and have them ready to go in the refrigerator.
02

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper (one large for the cauliflower, one small for the chicken breasts). Wash cauliflower, remove stems and chop into small florets.
03

Toss onto a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and fresh pepper—be generous. With your hands toss around until all the florets are nicely coated.
04

Roast in the oven for 30-45 minutes (taking out to stir after 20 minutes), until tender and browning.
05

Similarly, place chicken breasts on the small baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in the oven alongside the cauliflower to roast.
06

They should be fully cooked in 25-35 minutes, depending on their size, and other variables. Once both are roasted, set aside for pizza assembly.
07

Once the cauliflower and chicken are in the oven, prepare the dough. In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour and salt.
08

In a small bowl, stir together warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes—the yeast should bloom. Add water mixture slowly to the flour stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
09

At this point, tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until a smooth ball is formed. You'll need to sprinkle in extra flour to reach the perfect consistency (this usually amounts to an extra 1/4 cup of flour).
10

NOTE: The dough should feel smooth, be easy to handle, no longer sticky and not dry. Place in a well-oiled bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and place somewhere warm to rise for at least 30 minutes.
11

With the chicken and cauliflower roasting, and the dough rising, prep your fixings. In a small stovetop pot over medium heat, whisk together tomato paste, water, cider, sugar, salt, and garlic. Bring to boil and let simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.
12

Grate mozzarella and cheddar set aside. Roughly chop red onion and set aside. Wash cilantro, remove leaves from stems and set aside for serving.
13

Preheat oven to 425℉. Tip dough onto a floured surface and roll out into a large rectangle, the size of your baking sheet. Carefully transfer the rolled out dough onto the well-greased baking sheet. DO NOT forget to grease your baking sheet with olive oil.
14

Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough. Top with two thirds the roasted cauliflower and chicken, followed by the cheese. Sprinkle the remaining cauliflower and chicken over top the cheese, along with the red onion. Bake for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
