Curried Cauliflower Pizza

One of the things I love most about food is the ability to connect. Connecting to people or in the case of this cauliflower pizza, a place. Shortly after moving from my hometown, a pizza place started up that is delicious and inventive in their pizza toppings. I posted this pizza a couple years ago but after eating the restaurant's version recently, I've changed up the recipe to closer resemble that pizza. This recipe connects me back to my hometown and with it, my family. Plus, it's just a really good, funky pizza.

Bake until browning, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn up heat to 500˚.
  2. Roll the dough out onto a surface covered in cornmeal (I used a large wood cutting board put some of you may have a pizza peel.) Roll/shape the dough out to about 14" circe.
  3. Combine roasted cauliflower with red onion and parsley. Brush 1 tablespoon of oil over rolled out crust and spread cauliflower over crust.. Sprinkle cheese on top and slide pizza into the oven.
  4. Bake until crust is golden, 10-15 minutes depending on oven.

Notes

This recipe was inspired by a similar pizza I had at my favorite local pizza shop in Galesburg, IL (Baked). The flavors can change greatly depending on the curry mix you use. I highly recommend experimenting!

In place of the parsley, I like cilantro.

Variations for the Cauliflower Pizza

I think this pizza is all about the curry powder. You can of course make your own but I actually like to pick up a few different varieties and play around. This particular version I photographed was with an African Curry from this spice company (it was just enough spice). I also like this spice shop.

Greens: I'll occasionally add a bit of spinach to this pizza for extra color.

Cauliflower: Sweet potatoes are another good option for roasting with curry powder then throwing on a pizza.

Cheese: I usually stick with fresh mozzarella because the flavor of the curry is predominant however, any good melting pizza cheese works.

  1. Looks delicious, I will have to try this, but without the pizza. I sadly don't own a oven.

  2. What?! OMG yes! This reminds me of Zante's Indian Pizza, which is legendary here in San Francisco, only it looks much better and healthier. The whole wheat crust is gorgeous, and so is the color of the curry. You're a genius!

  3. Hooray for pizza! I have to admit, I've never thought to top mine with curried cauliflower...but it looks like that may have to change. 🙂

  4. What is pastry flour exactly? I have whole wheat flour. Same thing??

    1. Pastry flour is ground from a different wheat berry that makes the flour a bit lighter. Regular wheat flour works for this recipe as well!

  5. This looks delicious :). I love curry, and I love this new take on it. Just discovered your blog and I think I'm in love 😀

  6. Any chance you could repost your original recipe somewhere? While this version looks yummy too, I had your old version bookmarked for months and we all love it so much! I think I have it memorized, but I'd be nice to see it one more time so I could save it off permanently. We love your website and use your recipes almost weekly. Thanks for the awesome recipes and ideas!!

      1. I just realized I never thanked you for providing the archived link for the original recipe....thank you so much!! And as always - thank you for all the delicious recipes and ideas - we have many "go-to" favorites on your site. 🙂

  7. Not gonna lie, the original was a staple for us! Could you please post a link to the archive of the old version? 🙂
