"Closed lid" /Turbo/3 Times/1 sec.6. Put mixture onto 2 large round pizza trays that have been lined with baking paper. Spread mixture gently with the back of a spoon or spatula until it spreads evenly over the tray.
7. Bake at 220C for 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and then spread with your favourite pizza topping and bake for a further 10 minutes.
Tip
These bases hold surprisingly well together and will fill you up. Our family of six enjoyed two pieces each.
Don't be worried if the bases turn brown in the oven, it's the cheese browning in the mixture and it gives a much firmer texture and nice flavour.

Recipe is created forTM 5
If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Delicious! I could have eaten this as a side dish and not just as a pizza base. Thanks for sharing 😀
God this was good - thank you for posting!
wow!! I'm so impressed! This was a total winner. Husband was a bit sceptical both were blown away at the taste. Will make again for sure.
The base was tasty and held together well despite being a bit soggy. Although, that may have had more to do with not allowing the cauliflower to dry out more before forming the base or it may have needed a little longer in the oven. I topped with sliced mushrooms, baby spinich and some grated cheese, made a delicious lunch!
