When the man of the house decides it’d be a great idea to purchase a pizza oven, despite most of the family not being able to eat gluten and dairy it’s time to come up with a pizza base recipe quick smart!! Yes you can buy them, but if you read the ingredients lists of ‘free from’ foods they typically contain lots of nasties we’d rather not eat. This recipe, however is free from rubbish and actually not bad at holding together.
For my topping I added about:
2 tbsp pesto
1 tbsp tomato purée
Sliced mushrooms
Tomatoes
Cooked paprika chicken
A little grated sheep’s cheese and mozzarella
PS You don’t need a pizza oven – any old oven will do!
