Ingredients:

Pinch of salt
2/3 cup water

Cook the pizza base for two minutes, then use a spatula to lift it and turn it over and cook the other side for a further two minutes.

Now the pizza base is ready, it’s time to choose the topping. Pizzas are so versatile that you can put pretty much anything you want on the top. Let’s start with the basics — a Margarita pizza is cheese and tomato. Simply spread some tomato paste on the top of the pizza and sprinkle grated vegan cheese on top and bake in the oven at 430 °F for five to ten minutes, until the cheese has melted and started to brown. Add fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil to serve.

For something with more vegetables, try a spinach and feta pizza, packed full of iron (not vegan, though). Alternatively, go for our wild garlic pizza, it’s topped with bell peppers, button mushrooms, chili, wild garlic and kale — a rainbow of flavors!
