PIZZA SAUCE

4 Tbsps tomato puree

1 tsp Garlic powder

2 tsps Paprika

1/2 tsp Black pepper

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

4 tbsps warm water

TOPPINGS

The chose is totally yours what you use and how much of it.

I chose to use my FAVE combo…. mushrooms, black olives, oregano, jalapenos, peppers, pineapple and vegan mozzarella.  I used Bute Islands Sheeze Mozzarella style slices

HOW TO MAKE

First you want to take your small bowl and combine the ground flax with the water mix and put it to one side to set.

Then in your large bowl combine the flours, add in your spices and mix.

Once your chia/flax has set add into the flour and start to bind it together, use your hands and squeeze the mixture together.

Add in water as you go to help it bind and knead the dough into a ball.

Heat your oven to about 350F which is about 180 C

Get your pizza tray and line it with grease proof paper and sprinkle some of your flour on it.

You can either make one big pizza with the dough or mini pizzas the choice is yours.

If you are making a whole pizza place your dough in the middle of the tray and start to press down and outwards with your finger tips.

Keep on working it out to the sides applying pressure with your fingertips until the tray is covered evenly.

You can use a rolling pin if you find it easier it is up to you.

If you want to make mini pizzas break off a golf ball size amount sprinkle flour in your hand and flatten it with your palm. Then put it on the tray and press it into shape with your fingertips.

If you happen to make mini pizzas you may have dough left, wrap it in foil and store in the fridge (it keeps well for a few days).

So once your pizza base is formed pop in the oven for about 15/20 minutes.

You can judge how well done you would like the pizzas bases.

Whilst the pizza base is cooking mix all the pizza sauce ingredients together and set aside.

Now you can have some fun and choose what toppings you would like vegan cheese, jalapenos, mushroom, pepper, chili, red onion, olives, pineapple etc.

Chop your veggies up and set aside.

Once the pizza base is done spread your pizza sauce over the base or mini bases and leave a crust around the edge.

Then sprinkle over your topping and pop back in the oven cook for another 10/15 minutes to cooked.

Slice up and….

Then INHALE!!!
