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!

How I Became the 'V-Word'

Everyone has a tipping point; that one moment where everything syncs in your mind and you realise your morals and compassion have to align with your daily lifestyle. Some come later than others and that’s okay, as long as we all get there in the end for humanities sake. My realisation didn’t come until Christmas 2015, I was 20. Some may say this is early in life to realise but I’m still astonished it didn’t come sooner. After being vegetarian for 8 years, purely because I thought it was weird to eat a living being and didn’t feel comfortable doing so, I watched Cowspiracy whilst eating a cheese pizza. That was the last dairy I knowingly ate (apart from the occasional curry shop mint sauce that I will come back to later). School was constantly feeling left out, being called “rabbit” and people finding my ironic surname “Bacon” hilarious on a daily basis (people still mention it when they find out and I just let them have a little giggle and get over ...

RECIPE - Tofu Vegetable Quiche

This is my first recipe post... It's something I've been thinking about doing for a while and today I made something new and exciting so I wanted to share it... VEGAN QUICHE! When I was vegetarian I didn't like eggs; the thought that they are chicken periods always grossed me out. My nan always made me quiche when she did family buffets and no matter how many times I told her I didn't like it she still always made it for me. The older I got the more I realised that family and love come before anything else so I used to have a small portion and proclaim my appreciation for her effort. Now, my partner is vegan and says he used to love quiche but I always believed recreating eggs in vegan-form would be terribly difficult. After researching many  different takes on vegan versions I trialled my own recipe... Ingredients: Ready-Rolled Shortcrust Pastry 1 pack (350g) Extra Firm Silken Tofu 1/2 cup Soya Milk 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast 1 tsp Turmeric Vari...
