Serves 2
Ingredients
Quick Pizza Dough – Makes 1 Medium Pizza
- 200 g self-raising flour sieved (approx. 1⅓ cups)
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 110 ml water room temperature (approx. ½ cup minus 1 tbsp)
Toppings:
- 3-5 tbsp of tomato sauce passata or homemade pizza sauce
- 3 tbsp The Happy Pear Lovely Basil Pesto
- A few dollops of Quick-Fire Cashew Feta recipe below
- Veggies of choice
Quick-Fire Cashew Feta
- 75 g cashew nuts approx. ½ cup
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¾ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
Mix dry ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the sieved self-raising flour and a pinch of salt.
Add wet ingredients:
- Pour in the olive oil and water. Stir with a spoon or your hand until a dough begins to come together.
Knead the dough:
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2–3 minutes until smooth and soft. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle over a little more flour.
Roll it out:
- Roll the dough into a round or rectangular shape, around 0.5 cm thick. You can roll it directly onto a piece of baking paper for easier transfer.
Pre-bake (optional for a crispier base):
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Place the rolled-out dough into the dry pan and cook for 2–3 minutes until lightly golden underneath. Flip and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes. Remove from the pan.
Make your Cashew Feta:
- Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If it’s too thick, add a small splash of water to loosen.
Add your toppings and bake:
- You can bake the topped pizza in a preheated oven at 200°C (fan) / 220°C (conventional) for 8–10 minutes, or until the base is golden and the toppings are heated through. Alternatively
