How to make the cauliflower dough?
- Choose a fresh cauliflower with very white and snug florets.
- Keep only the florets without the leaves or stalks
- Blend the florets very finely in a blender, in order to obtain a very fine semolina.
- It is essential to remove as much moisture as possible from the cauliflower by draining it well. To do this, put the cauliflower semolina in a thin kitchen cloth or cheese cloth and press well. Repeat this operation 2-3 times until the semolina is well dehydrated. This process will allow the dough to cook well in the oven without soaking during cooking.
- Dry the semolina in the middle of the oven at 180°C for 10 – 15 minutes without browning. Pour the cauliflower semolina onto a tray lined with parchment paper. This will remove the strong taste of cauliflower. Let cool.
- During cooking, open your oven twice to let the moisture escape.
- For a crispy dough on both sides, turn it over after 20 minutes of cooking.
- For a crispy dough, prolong the cooking until you obtain a well-coloured dough according to your taste.
