Method

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C and line a tray with baking paper.

  4. Press mixture onto the lined tray into a round pizza shape, about 1 cm thick.
  5. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden and firm.
  6. Remove from oven, add pizza sauce and toppings of choice.
  7. Return to oven for 8 to 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Top with fresh basil and chilli flakes if you like a little heat.
  9. Slice, serve and enjoy your healthyish pizza night 🍕
