It’s funny but I seriously had no idea how to call my recipe for today. All I had in mind it was to try out an unconventional pizza base (made of cauliflower and whole-wheat flour) in my own style.
As it turned out to be something entirely different from a pizza, but extremely delicious, I got the courage to share it with you today. I won’t promise you a crispy crust, but I do promise you a tasty healthy snack with a soft base that still holds together and, moreover, it requires less time than a pizza.
How many times has it happened to you that you crave for a tasty snack but don’t know what?! Well, here comes my delicious “no-name snack”, still a healthy bite.
Definitely not a Pizza
