  • 8. Let cool slightly - 15 min
  • 9. Increase oven temperature to 220°C
  • 10. Take half of the cooked cauliflower and place into the centre of a large tea towel
  • 11. Squeeze all the moisture out of the cauliflower by pressing and twisting on the tea towel over a bowl
  • 12. Discard or you can reserve the liquid for another use (it is the perfect vegetarian stock)

  • 21. Add cauliflower dough to the remainder and mix 10 sec/speed 4 with the aid of the spatula
  • 22. Press the mixture onto prepared tray, forming a rectangle shape as neatly as possible
  • 23. Bake until light golden - 12 min
  • 24. Sprinkle with remaining cheese mix
  • 25. Return to the oven for a further 10-12 minutes until golden and sizzling on top
