When life gets hectic, food can either be the first or last thing on your mind. For me I want something tasty, but with minimal effort.
Pizza is a crowd pleaser, I have yet to meet someone who tells me they don’t enjoy a pizza. Pizza is also one of the things that people are concerned about when they hear you are a vegan or consider a vegan diet themselves, but fear not. There’s plenty of vegan pizza to go around! And what’s more this recipe is so healthy you can enjoy a pizza to yourself 😉
This recipe is for a simple, gluten free, vegan pizza that’s packed with delicious veggies, and you can make it in 40 minutes! The great thing about pizza is that the toppings can be modified to suit everyones taste, simple!
Ingredients
For the base;
150g gluten free self raising flour (or any flour of choice really)
100ml warm water
1 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Garlic powder
1tsp mixed herbs
Salt and pepper
For the cheats sauce;
3 tbs tomato puree
1 tbs olive oil
1 tsp oregano
fresh/dried basil to taste
salt and pepper
For the toppings;
I used
mushrooms
baby leaf spinach
red onion
red and yellow pepper
fresh tomato
sun dried tomato
(but of course use whatever you like)
Method
Preheat your oven to Gas 6/200*C
Mix the ingredients for the base in a bowl, until they form a ball of dough, add more flour if needed
Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface for 1 minute, then place onto a lined baking tray
Flatten the dough with your hands to form a flat shape (circle/oval/square) then roll out until even all over about 1cm thick (I used a glass for rolling)
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake at Gas 6/200*C for 15 minutes, until crispy
Meanwhile, mix the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl and set aside
Prep the toppings, slicing thinly
After 15 minutes take the base from the oven, cover with sauce and vegetables and bake for a further 20 minutes until all the vegetables are lightly charred and cooked through.
Cut into slices, and enjoy hot (but this is also tasty re heated the next day)
