Ingredients
FOR THE BASE
- 200g self-raising flour
- Pinch of salt
- 100ml dairy or plant-based milk
- 6 tbsp olive oil
FOR THE TOPPING
- 25g parmesan
- 4 tbsp cream cheese
- 2 tsp dried mixed herbs
- 4 pineapple rings or 8 slices of tinned peaches
- 4 tsp pure Canadian maple syrup (preferably dark syrup for its robust taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Turn the oven on to 190oC and cover a baking tray with baking paper. Put the flour and a pinch of salt into a bowl.
- Make a well in the middle of the bowl. Measure 100ml milk in a jug, add 6 tablespoons olive oil and mix together.
- Pour the milk mixture into the well and mix together with a spoon.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface very lightly until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 4 pieces and use your hands to roll each piece into a ball. Squash each ball to flatten into a circle (about 10cm wide) and put on the baking tray.
- Add the cream cheese to the Parmesan with the dried herbs and mix together. Spread a tablespoon of the mixture onto each pizza base.
- Sit 1 pineapple ring on the top of each pizza and drizzle a teaspoon of maple syrup over each pizza. Twist a pepper pot once or twice over the top. Cook the pizzas in the oven for 10 – 12 minutes until golden.
These creamy, herby mini pizzas are fun to make and delicious. The dough doesn’t need time to prove so they can be made right before mealtime.
Tip: For a slightly more sophisticated pallet, try mixing a little blue cheese into the cream cheese and top with thin apple slices, walnuts and maple syrup.
