1. Cut the cauliflower into smaller florets and blitz the cauliflower using a food processor until quite fine, but do not puree.
2. Steam them until soft, or microwave for 5 minutes.
3. Place the cooked, soft cauliflower onto a clean tea towel. Twist to remove all the liquid. If not enough liquid is removed, the pizza base will not crisp.
4. Place the drained, cooked cauliflower in a large mixing bowl and add the egg, seasoning, herbs and grated cheese. Mix well until a ball forms.
5. Prepare a baking tray lined with a non stick sheet or baking paper. Do not use a pizza stone as it will probably stick and not lift off easily.
6. Place the ball of cauliflower 'dough' onto the baking sheet and press out into a round pizza shape.
7. Spray the top with some olive oil to help it crisp, then bake at 180C/350F for 15 minutes or until golden.
8. Add the toppings, cover with more cheese and cook until the cheese is melted and bubbling..
