Pizzas don't have to be unhealthy, they can actually be wholesome and nutritious!  They're also very adaptable so you can literally pick whatever toppings you want and how much you want.  Best served with a side salad and/or baked potato wedges.

Wholesome Cheesy Vegan Pizza

Serves 2

Vegetarian, Vegan, Nut-Free Option, Soy-Free Option, Gluten-Free Option

Ingredients:

250g wholemeal bread mix (use a gluten-free bread mix for gluten-free option) *
75ml Meridian tomato & pepper pasta sauce *
75ml passata *
100g No Moo Melty cheese, grated (make this nut-free by using an alternative nut-free cheese, or omit) *
6 Peppadew Peppers (mild or hot), quartered *
1 vegan sausage, roughly chopped (use a soy-free/gluten-free sausage or add extra toppings instead for soy-free/gulten-free option) *
½ red onion, thinly sliced
3 tomatoes, chopped and drained on kitchen roll
fine cornmeal (polenta) - optional (for if using a pizza stone) *

Method:

Firstly, make the pizza dough according to the instructions on the packet.  Once you are at the stage where the dough needs to rise for about an hour in a warm place, start preparing the toppings.

Mix the passata and the pasta sauce in a small bowl and set aside.  Next prepare all your toppings, ready to be assembled.

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4 when the dough rising time is nearly up.  I recommend using a pizza stone which you must put in the oven when cold and let it remain in the oven during the preheating stage. 

Flour your workspace and rolling pin, and roll the dough fairly flat, about 1cm deep (round or square shape is fine).  If using a pizza tray, dust the tray with flour and place the flattened dough on top.  If using a pizza stone, sprinkle some cornmeal on a cake lifter (or flat baking tray with no rim) and then place the dough on top.

Spread the tomato mixture evenly on top of the pizza dough, not too close to the edges as this will drip in the oven.  Add the toppings, followed by the cheese (again, not too close to the edge).  Put the pizza tray in the oven, or slide the pizza from the cake lifter to the pizza stone, and cook for about 20 mins or so.  The cheese should have melted a bit and the centre of the pizza should be cooked.
