Makes 16 mini pizzas
Ingredients
For the dough:- 125ml milk *
- 3g fast-action yeast *
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 200g gluten-free bread flour *
- ½ tsp xanthan gum *
- 1 tsp salt *
- 1 egg, beaten
- ¼ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 130g passata
- 4 slices of mature cheese
- 32 sliced green or black olives
Method
- Step 1 To make the dough, heat the milk in a small saucepan until warm.
- Step 2 Turn off the heat and sprinkle in the caster sugar and yeast. Set aside until required.
- Step 3 In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free bread flour, xanthan gum, salt and bicarbonate of soda.
- Step 4 Mix well and then add in the egg.
- Step 5 Work this into the dry mixture a little, and then gradually pour in the yeasty milk mixture. Mix the dough until well combined.
- Step 6 Shape into a ball and place in a clean bowl, cover with cling film and leave for 1.5 hours to rise. Once the dough is ready, it should be puffed up and soft to touch.
- Step 7 Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan.
- Step 8 Using a rolling pin, on a floured work surface, roll the dough to about the thickness of a £1 coin.
- Step 9 Use an 8cm round cookie cutter to stamp out 16 mini pizza bases and then transfer these to two baking trays.
- Step 10 Place 1 teaspoon of passata into the centre of each pizza base and smooth around, leaving a little space around the edge. Once they are all coated, bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden.
- Step 11 While the bases are cooking, prepare the cheese ‘bandages’: trim the cheese slices until they are approximately 8cm in length, and then cut into matchstick-width strips. They need to be thin as they spread when melted.
- Step 12 Once the bases are cooked, carefully lay 2 olive slices on each to look like eyes and then lay 4-5 strips of cheese over the base at jaunty angles to look like bandages.
- Step 13 Return to the oven for 30 seconds only, just to melt the cheese. Transfer onto a platter and serve immediately.
