Homemade pizza

A tasty, healthy and easy-to-make version of a classic family-pleaser. Kids will love helping prepare and put on the toppings.

Cooking directions

• Sieve flour and baking powder.
• Rub/mix margarine into the flour until the mixture is like coarse breadcrumbs.
• Add the milk and mix until a stiff dough (add more flour or milk if needed).
• Turn out onto a floured board and knead lightly.
• Roll out into a circle (use a bottle if you do not have a rolling pin). Put on an oven tray.
• Spread over tinned spaghetti or tomato puree, chopped onions, pineapple pieces, tomato slices, pepper strips - or any other combination of toppings.
• Sprinkle over a little grated cheese.
• Cook at 200ºC for 20 minutes.
• Enjoy!

Possible toppings:

• Tinned spaghetti, onion, tinned pineapple chunks, sliced tomato, sliced red or green pepper, fresh or tinned mushrooms, grated cheese, tomato paste or pasta sauce, fresh or dried herbs (basil, thyme, oregano, marjoram).
• Invent your own yummy combination.

Try:

• Using pita bread as the base of the pizza.
• Making mini pizzas on muffin splits or small pita bread.
• Involving the kids. Kids love rolling out the dough and putting on the toppings.
