RECIPE - Pizza Dough

Pizza is a staple in our house, we have it once a week without fail. Usually we make 2 big ones and I manage to save some for lunch the next day but my partner isn't so strong at resisting...


So I've started making 2 big ones and some miniatures with the same amount of dough as I used to make just the big ones. No complaints yet and we both get to enjoy it the next day too!

We were stuck in a rut of toppings using a bbq sauce base, sweetcorn, mushrooms, peppers, onion and Linda McCartney sausages but this time I tried some other vegetables that we had in for other recipes this week!




Ingredients:

For the Dough:
200g Plain Flour
200g Self Raising Flour
7g sachet of Fast Action Yeast
1tsp Caster Sugar
1tsp Salt
2tbsp Vegetable/Sunflower Oil
225ml Warm Water

Toppings:
Lidl Hunter's Chicken BBQ Sauce
Tesco Smoked Cheese (Free From)
Linda McCartney Sausages
Tin of Sweetcorn
2 Asparagus Tips
Half a Red Pepper
2 Closed Cup Mushrooms
1 Red Onion
Sweet Chilli Chutney
Sundried Tomatoes

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
2. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl, add the oil and water and mix until a dough starts to form.
3. Sprinkle a surface with flour and knead the dough for 5 minutes.
4. Put the dough ball back in the bowl and set aside while you prep the toppings!
5. Cut all the vegetables and sausages (microwaved for 1 minute from frozen) how you'd like them. I cut smaller pieces for the mini pizzas.
6. Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll out 2 big pizza shaped pieces and place on pizza trays. Then divide the rest of the dough into 8 pieces and make mini sized pizzas!
7. Top each pizza with BBQ sauce.
8. Now to get experimental with the toppings! I did each of the mini pizzas as different. Don't forget the cheese!
9. Cook for 12 minutes, or until they're how you like them, alternating shelves to ensure they're all evenly cooked.

Enjoy!

RECIPE - Millionaires Shortbread

Baking is my "me time", my happiness and seeing people enjoying my bakes is my favourite thing. Millionaires Shortbread has always been my favourite sweet treat but I've only had it a handful of times in the 4 years of being vegan... I've thought about making some myself for months but I've always been scared of the caramel. I've made mince pies, cakes, buttercream, cookies and quiche but caramel seemed daunting... I did lots of caramel research and I finally plucked up the courage to make some on a rainy, lazy day at the beginning of a staycation! Ingredients Shortbread: 225g Plain Flour 125g Baking Butter Block 75g Caster Sugar 2tbsp Oat Milk Caramel: 300g Caster Sugar 50g Golden Syrup 100g Baking Butter Block 250g Oatly Single Cream Chocolate: 1 Bar each of Tesco Free From White and Dark Chocolate 1. Preheat the oven to 180c and line a 20cm x 30cm tin with baking paper. 2. Mix all the ingredients for the shortbread by hand....

RECIPE - Sweet Potato, Lentil & Vegetable Curry

I love a curry. Thai, Indian, sweet, sour, tomato, coconut, spicy or mild. The aromas filling the house, making it feel like a home. Normally I chuck whatever vegetables we have got to use up with some chickpeas and red lentils in the slow cooker topped with some coconut milk and tomato passatta and see what happens but, sometimes I take my time over a dish. I adore cooking, as you've probably realised and nothing beats a huge pot of something spicy bubbling away on the stove. My last throw together dish has got to be the best curry I've ever made! So this recipe post is mostly for me to remember how I did it, but hopefully some of you will enjoy making it too... Ingredients: 1 Red Onion sliced thinly 1 tsp turmeric 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp garlic granules 1/2 tsp chilli or more if you prefer it hotter! 1 tsp tikka masala powder 1 tsp paprika 1/2 tsp ginger 1 tsp oregano 1 tbsp tomato puree 1 sweet potato cut into 2cm cubes 1 green pepper cut into 2cm cu...
