Easy Peasy Pizza
This pizza is a firm favourite in our family being a healthy alternative to the usual pizza and is super easy to make, great for the children to be actively involved in the preparation. The beauty of this recipe is you can add as little or as many of your favourite toppings as you would like – experiment and have fun. Homemade pizzas are a great way for us parents to unknowingly get some fresh veg in to those fussy eaters tummy’s.
You will need:
For the pizza base –
225g (8oz) Self Raising Flour
1⁄4 tsp Salt
50g (2oz) butter
50g (2oz) cheddar cheese – grated 1tsp mixed herbs
150ml (1/4 pint) milk Toppings:
You will need tomato puree as a base sauce, or you could swap the traditional tomato base for something more exotic such as a barbeque sauce! Then grate on as much or as little cheese as you fancy and add on some toppings such as, peppers, onions, etc – go crazy with lots of healthy options.
What you will need to do:
1. Pre heat oven to 180c/350f. Sieve together flour and salt. Using finger tips, rub in the butter so that it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
2. Stir in grated cheese and herbs. Stir in the milk until the mixture forms a soft dough.
3. Turn on to a lightly floured surface and knead for around 1 minute until smooth.
4. Roll the dough on to a large, well greased rectangular tin (or circular if you are clever enough to roll it this shape!).
5. Add base sauce, cheese and chosen toppings and bake for around 20 – 25 minutes.
