Dairy free pizza

This was inspired by a trip to Pizza express. We always order the bolognese for T, but I thought that he can't miss out on pizza! Making pizza dough is surprisingly easy, you just need a bit of time on your side. 

Ingredients  

250g Bread flour
1 packet dried yeast (7g)
2 tbsp olive oil
150mls lukewarm water
Jar of sundried tomato paste (check that it is dairy free). 
Whatever toppings you can think of! (see below for some ideas)

 Method

• Measure out the flour into a large bowl (or use your work surface in the kitchen)
• Make a well in the flour
• In a separate bowl, mix the water, yeast and olive oil and leave for a few minutes until the yeast starts to ferment. 
• Pour the yeast mixture into the well of the flour. 
• Initially combine with a spoon, and then turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-10minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic

Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic

• Put the dough back into a clean bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Leave in a warm place for 45mins-1 hour. 
• Once the dough is doubled, turn it back out onto a floured surface and knock the air out. 
• Cut the dough into 4 equally sized pieces and roll these out with a rolling pin. 
• Place the pizza bases onto a lightly oiled baking paper and top with your desired toppings. 

This recipe made enough for four small pizzas. 

Ideas for toppings:

Ham and mushroom

Dairy free cheese (if your baby can tolerate soya)

Chicken and sweetcorn

Tomato and basil

Tuna and green pepper

Ham, mushroom and basil pizzas. 

• Bake in the oven for 15mins at 200C until the dough has cooked through. 
• Serve with a tomato salad and enjoy!

PS - you can always make some for yourself too!
