Pizza night

a healthy pizza - is a home made pizza

It’s not hard to make a delicious home made, healthy, nutritious pizza… You Just need to be organised, and have some nice fresh ingredients on hand.

So what do you need?

Vegetarian Pizza….

BASE:

280mls warm water

1 sachet of yeast

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

500gms. bakers flour

Okay, combine all ingredients and knead for about 2 minutes.  Allow the pastry to rest for 30 minutes… Knead some more and add flour and form into 4 neat rounds.  Set aside half of the mix and allow to rest for another 15 minutes.  Roll out your pastry and spread over 2 large pizza pans, that have been oiled with olive oil.  You are probably going to make a mess on the bench, so make sure you have enough spare flour to roll your dough out onto.  I use the Thermomix to prepare the pastry.  Easy!

Prepare your topping.

1 punnet of cherry tomatoes, or 2 cups of cherry tomatoes  from your own garden

1 cup chopped fresh herbs, like basil, shallots, chives and parsley

1 large zucchini, cubed

1 – 2 cups grated cheese

1/4 cup tomato pasta sauce

Spread your pasta sauce evenly over your base.  Add chopped vegetables and herbs.  Spread grated cheese over the top.  Heat oven to very hot.  Cook for approximately 15 minutes… Serve with leafy greens and relax… Warning cheese on bread will make you sleepy.  Avoid having Pizza in the middle of the day or when driving long distances… Gluten and cheese makes you sleepy and that could be a disaster behind the wheel…So best to have a night, when you don’t have any appointments or anything important to do.  Great for putting you to sleep… Use in that manner… Great for over active teenagers… Put them to sleep… You have salad, so you are alert, and they can have Pizza, so you get some peace!!!
