4. Allow to drain very well, and pat dry using a clean cloth or paper towel
5. In a large bowl, mix the dried cauliflower, almond meal, nutritional yeast, minced garlic, basil, salt and 'eggs'
6. Use a little bit of coconut oil to grease a pizza tray, then put the cauliflower 'dough' in the centre
7. Push out to the edges, trying to keep it as level as possible
8. It won't be sticky; but it shouldn't be too wet either
9. Bake for 20 minutes or until crispy
10. Top with passata, and vegies, and bake for a further 10 minutes
11. *This pizza isn't like a 'normal' pizza; there is no flour/gluten to hold it together
