00:12.740 --> 00:15.170
Hey what are you doing ? I gotta

00:15.170 --> 00:18.410
practice . Practice what ? Oh man . I'm

00:18.410 --> 00:20.521
so excited . We're making pizza today

00:20.521 --> 00:22.743
and I've always wanted to talk though .

00:22.743 --> 00:24.799
Like I've seen it on tv . So for the

00:24.799 --> 00:26.688
sake of simplicity let's say your

00:26.688 --> 00:28.688
typical delivery of frozen pizza is

00:28.688 --> 00:30.910
just a plain cheese pizza . A level two

00:30.910 --> 00:32.910
option is to make your own homemade

00:32.910 --> 00:34.966
cheese pizza ideally with 100% whole

00:34.966 --> 00:37.188
wheat crust , a pizza sauce that has no

00:37.188 --> 00:39.354
added sugar part skim , mozzarella and

00:39.354 --> 00:41.521
veggie toppings . But 100% whole wheat

00:41.521 --> 00:43.688
crust is the only ingredient in all of

00:43.688 --> 00:45.743
our recipes that wasn't at our local

00:45.743 --> 00:47.966
commissary . So we're committed to only

00:47.966 --> 00:50.077
getting ingredients that are easy for

00:50.077 --> 00:49.970
you to find . We're just using a

00:49.970 --> 00:52.137
smaller sized enriched flour crust for

00:52.137 --> 00:54.510
this one . Okay , all these ingredients

00:54.510 --> 00:56.732
are just at the commissary . That's too

00:56.732 --> 00:58.788
easy . Yeah so everything except for

00:58.788 --> 01:00.788
the whole wheat crust . But they do

01:00.788 --> 01:02.954
have ingredients for our level through

01:02.954 --> 01:02.700
cauliflower crust . I don't know if I

01:02.700 --> 01:05.560
can toss cauliflower like dough . We'll

01:05.560 --> 01:07.782
try it though . I believe in you . That

01:07.782 --> 01:09.838
gives me all the confidence I need .

01:09.838 --> 01:11.782
Thank you . Alright , so let's get

01:11.782 --> 01:13.838
started then . Now you can make your

01:13.838 --> 01:15.893
own 100% whole wheat pizza dough but

01:15.893 --> 01:18.116
that takes a lot of time to save time .

01:18.116 --> 01:20.338
You can buy pre made crust which should

01:20.338 --> 01:20.320
have baking instructions on the

01:20.320 --> 01:22.300
packaging basically . You put your

01:22.300 --> 01:24.467
sauce and your veggie toppings on like

01:24.467 --> 01:26.356
roasted red peppers , caramelized

01:26.356 --> 01:28.522
onions and little pieces of broccoli .

01:28.522 --> 01:30.689
They crunch up nicely and some oregano

01:30.689 --> 01:32.633
and bake According to your package

01:32.633 --> 01:35.250
instructions . I've already got one

01:35.250 --> 01:37.650
made . That looks good . I can't lie

01:37.660 --> 01:39.720
for the cauliflower pizza though . I

01:39.720 --> 01:41.942
definitely recommend you're making your

01:41.942 --> 01:44.109
own crust from scratch . There are pre

01:44.109 --> 01:46.164
made color for our crust out there .

01:46.164 --> 01:48.109
But they tend to add a lot of corn

01:48.109 --> 01:50.442
starch and potato starch and the egg in .

01:50.442 --> 01:50.220
It makes it taste more like a frittata

01:50.220 --> 01:52.387
than a pizza . We will also use an egg

01:52.387 --> 01:54.609
in our recipe . Cauliflower already has

01:54.609 --> 01:56.553
a lot of water and it doesn't have

01:56.553 --> 01:58.776
enough starch to absorb more water . So

01:58.776 --> 02:00.776
we add an egg to act as a binder to

02:00.776 --> 02:02.942
keep the pizza together . We will also

02:02.942 --> 02:05.109
use oat flour instead of cornstarch or

02:05.109 --> 02:07.109
potato starch which will absorb the

02:07.109 --> 02:09.164
liquid so the crust doesn't become a

02:09.164 --> 02:09.150
floppy mess or taste like a frittata .

02:09.640 --> 02:11.807
Yeah , let's not make a floppy pizza .

02:11.807 --> 02:13.973
We don't want that . All right , so go

02:13.973 --> 02:16.029
ahead and preheat your oven to 400°

02:16.029 --> 02:18.196
and I'm gonna line a baking sheet with

02:18.196 --> 02:21.800
parchment paper . Mhm .

02:29.040 --> 02:31.440
Alright , now that that's done , we're

02:31.440 --> 02:33.607
gonna go ahead and take a 10 ounce bag

02:33.607 --> 02:35.607
of our frozen cauliflower . Keeping

02:35.607 --> 02:37.829
some of these in the freezer is an easy

02:37.829 --> 02:39.829
way to throw together a last minute

02:39.829 --> 02:42.051
dinner on the packaging . It recommends

02:42.051 --> 02:44.162
microwaving it for for for about five

02:44.162 --> 02:46.329
minutes . We're gonna microwave it for

02:46.329 --> 02:45.970
1 to 2 minutes instead of the

02:45.970 --> 02:48.137
recommended time . We don't want it to

02:48.137 --> 02:50.359
be all the way done . So cheon go ahead

02:50.359 --> 02:52.470
and put it in the microwave for about

02:52.470 --> 02:55.840
one minute . Yes ma'am . Yeah .

02:56.840 --> 02:59.490
Okay , while that's in the microwave

02:59.490 --> 03:01.657
combined , half a cup of rolled oats ,

03:01.657 --> 03:03.712
half a teaspoon of dried oregano , a

03:03.712 --> 03:05.823
quarter teaspoon of garlic powder and

03:05.823 --> 03:07.990
half a teaspoon of salt in the blender

03:07.990 --> 03:09.879
and pulse it until it resembles a

03:09.879 --> 03:13.460
flower . All right ,

03:13.840 --> 03:20.810
alright ,

03:20.860 --> 03:22.850
awesome . That's great . I should

03:22.850 --> 03:24.850
mention that herbs and spices are a

03:24.850 --> 03:26.961
great great way to punch up flavor in

03:26.961 --> 03:29.017
the pizza and it's perfectly fine to

03:29.017 --> 03:31.128
use dried spices . So we're gonna put

03:31.128 --> 03:33.017
the cauliflower in a calendar and

03:33.017 --> 03:35.239
you're gonna squeeze out all the excess

03:35.239 --> 03:35.150
liquid . Yes , ma'am .

03:39.240 --> 03:40.240
Mhm .

03:49.140 --> 03:51.500
Alright , that's great . Okay , now go

03:51.500 --> 03:53.167
ahead and put the egg and the

03:53.167 --> 03:55.333
cauliflower and the oat mixture into a

03:55.333 --> 03:57.270
bowl and we'll combine all those

03:57.270 --> 03:58.937
together using your spatula .

04:15.840 --> 04:17.729
Here you are . Thank you . You're

04:17.729 --> 04:20.930
welcome . Okay , now go ahead and we're

04:20.930 --> 04:22.874
gonna transfer the mixture to your

04:22.874 --> 04:24.930
baking sheet and right in the center

04:24.930 --> 04:27.208
and we'll mold a pizza crust with that .

04:27.208 --> 04:26.460
Right ,

04:37.570 --> 04:39.870
perfect . Go ahead and start molding

04:39.870 --> 04:42.750
your pizza crust . So with this pizza

04:42.750 --> 04:44.917
crust we're gonna spread into a circle

04:44.917 --> 04:47.220
and make about 8-10" in diameter . That

04:47.220 --> 04:49.387
looks great . So go ahead and put that

04:49.387 --> 04:51.387
in your oven for about 20 minutes .

05:01.540 --> 05:03.596
If you want to say some time you can

05:03.596 --> 05:05.373
saute your aromatics and veggie

05:05.373 --> 05:07.540
toppings at the same time and add them

05:07.540 --> 05:09.707
all to your sauce . Okay , so let's go

05:09.707 --> 05:11.707
ahead and add one tablespoon of our

05:11.707 --> 05:13.707
tomato paste here to our garlic and

05:13.707 --> 05:17.460
sauteing onions as well . Yes ma'am ,

05:21.940 --> 05:24.051
awesome . So we're gonna go ahead and

05:24.051 --> 05:25.996
mix that until it's all combined .

05:25.996 --> 05:28.162
We'll also add some tomato sauce to it

05:28.162 --> 05:29.496
and put that together .

05:32.640 --> 05:34.696
Okay , so now that we've already got

05:34.696 --> 05:36.751
everything ready , you're gonna take

05:36.751 --> 05:38.807
the sauce and start in the middle of

05:38.807 --> 05:40.918
the crust , spread it out into larger

05:40.918 --> 05:43.029
and larger circles . Alright , that's

05:43.029 --> 05:46.230
great . That . So next you'll put some

05:46.240 --> 05:48.990
part skim mozzarella on top . And if

05:48.990 --> 05:51.101
you want to cut back on the amount of

05:51.101 --> 05:53.268
cheese to choose , you can also modify

05:53.268 --> 05:55.490
it with a little bit of nutritional use

05:55.490 --> 05:57.490
that we have here , we're gonna add

05:57.490 --> 05:57.060
both just for the nutritional point of

05:57.060 --> 05:57.850
it .

06:02.540 --> 06:06.180
Great . Alright , Kian , and you can go

06:06.180 --> 06:08.291
ahead and put your veggie toppings on

06:08.291 --> 06:08.860
as well .

06:10.040 --> 06:13.990
Alright , so we'll go ahead and

06:13.990 --> 06:16.046
put it back in the oven and bake for

06:16.046 --> 06:18.212
about 10 minutes when we take it out ,

06:18.212 --> 06:20.046
we'll let it cool for about five

06:20.046 --> 06:22.212
minutes , wow , that looks delicious .

06:22.212 --> 06:24.212
It does , it looks good , it smells

06:24.212 --> 06:27.550
good too . Are you ready ?

06:29.640 --> 06:31.640
So what do you think you've done it

06:31.640 --> 06:33.780
again ? You can add a little punch to

06:33.780 --> 06:35.836
it by sprinkling a little bit of red

06:35.836 --> 06:37.891
chili flakes on top . The texture of

06:37.891 --> 06:40.002
the crust might take a little getting

06:40.002 --> 06:42.336
used to , but the flavors are all there .

06:42.336 --> 06:44.447
Maybe one day they'll be able to toss

06:44.447 --> 06:46.669
the pizza like you wanted . Hopefully .

06:46.669 --> 06:48.780
So thank you for believing in me . Of

06:48.780 --> 06:51.002
course , I'm happy to help . And if you
