I know i shouldn't but i really fancy a pizza. The bf is out so that doesn't help. We have no food in that i fancy, no shops within walking distance so i am tempted but know i shouldn't.
firstly - let me just say i HATE smash! ...and i posted on here last week saying that my consultant said i could have free pizza!!! ... using SMASH as a base. well i love her to death now because she did it, i tried it out of politeness, expecting to gag when chewing and i eat me words - it was LOVELY!!! i swear to god you can't taste potato...not that SMASH tastes of potato anyway!!
it's free on a green day too - FREE PIZZA! this diet is going to be so much easier now that i can eat the forbidden!
FREE PIZZA RECIPE
1 x bag of SMASH (apparently the cheaper the make the better, so will try it with smartprice instant mash soon)
tomato puree
any cheese(s) from health extras
oregano and basil
any toppings such as onion, mushroom, sweetcorn, even quorn fajita strips!
pre-heat the oven and put a pizza tray in to warm up.
put SMASH into a bowl and slowly add water - make it as thick as possible...could always add some herbs to the base or some garlic.
take pizza tray out of oven and spray with fry-light.
using your hands spread SMASH out onto the pizza tray, but don't press down too hard...make it about 3 or 4mm thick (any thicker and it won't taste nice)
put in the oven for 7-10 minutes
take out of oven, turn SMASH base over and put back in over for a further 7-10 minutes to crisp the other side.
remove from oven and leave to cool slightly.
bung all other ingrediants on and leave in the oven until cheese has melted.
oh yum! Thanks so much for the recipe! I will definitely try it - i'm on day 1 and desperate for ideas (and a little overwhelmed at the same time ) I have never even seen smash before (i'm an aussie living in UK) but will become very accustomed to it if it gives me FREE PIZZA!!!
it's really nice but you HAVE TO make it about 3 or 4mm thick....any thicker and it ruins the base. also, make sure you bake the base long enough as it has to be crispy.
