Hi,
I was away for a holiday recently and I have yet to sort out my photos so that I can share with you. In the meantime, I am posting a simple pizza recipe which I tried some time ago.
This recipe was shared by my friend Rachel, in her Facebook. It looks pretty enough and simple so I gave it a try.
I am not a gluten intolerant person nor someone who needs freefrom food. It is just that I have tried cauliflower pizza and it was sort of ok. I do not like the slight bitter taste of cauliflower.
The sweet potato pizza is actually quite tasty!! It is definitely less soggy than the cauliflower type. So here is the recipe.
I did not measure or weigh the ingredients up carefully. I just made it to my liking and it is so simple that you will not have any problems with it. Just use your favourite ingredients.
Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potato – sliced thinly
Around 200g to 300g Cheese of your choice, I used matured cheddar and parmesan
Toppings of your choice – I used chicken, onions, mushroom and sweet peppers.
Herbs – oregano or basil, fresh or dried.
Method:
- Heat oven to 200C or gas mark 6.
- Line a baking sheet ( approximately 20 by 30 cm) with baking parchment or non-stick baking paper
- Arrange the sliced potato in a single layer, over lapping the pieces so that there are no holes in between them. Sprinkle about 1/4 of the cheese all over the sweet potato base. This will help to hold the base better.
- Bake (blind) for about 15 minutes so that the base is dry.
- Remove from the oven and top with the rest of the cheese and the toppings, making sure that the toppings are well distributed.
- Turn the oven to 220C or gas Mk 7 and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and bubbly.
- Remove and slice into serving pieces and enjoy!!
Note: the baking paper will make it easy to lift the pizza out for serving or cutting.
