15 Minute Healthier Pizza from Scratch

Vegan, Healthy, High Protein

Makes 10 inch pizza (1 serving)

Ingredients for Pizza base

• 113g self raising flour

• 1/4 tsp of baking powder

• 1/2 tsp of mixed herbs

• 1 tsp instant yeast + 1 tsp of honey

• 1 tbsp of hemp hearts (any seeds will work but; preferably deshelled seeds create a really soft dough!)

• 1 tbsp of olive oil

Toppings

• Sauce (e.g. tomato sauce - pasta sauce works well, BBQ, white sauce, pesto etc)

• Low moisture cheese (e.g. Cheddar, Vegan Violife is amazing!)

• Veggies (Sliced mushrooms, peppers, onions, sweetcorn, tomatoes etc. - roast the peppers and onions before hand!)

• Protein (optional): sausage chunks, chicken, beef, tofu, nutritional yeast sprinkled later

Method

1. In a small bowl, add the yeast and honey alongside 3 tbsp of water. Cover with several towels and leave in a warm cool place.

2. Preheat the oven to 180°C fan (200°C standard)

3. In a medium sized bowl: stir in the flour, baking powder, mixed herbs, hemp seeds and salt and pepper to taste.

4. Once a few bubbles start to form in the yeast-honey mixture, incorporate into the flour mixture and stir with a fork until it forms a soft ball.

5. Incorporate all the flour from the bowl into the dough with your hands and flatten into a 1cm thick base. If the dough is too sticky add some more flour (vice-versa)

6. Cover the bottom of a non-stick baking tray with some olive oil (alternatively a sheet of aluminium foil) and transfer the base.

7. Add the sauce, toppings and cheese and spray with some more olive oil for a crispier crust.

8. Bake for 8-10 minutes until all the cheese has melted and the base is golden brown. Enjoy!
