Make a tasty pizza for Mother’s Day! Make the dough from scratch or pick up a pizza base mix from your local shop, then add your mum’s favourite toppings.

Ingredients:
For the base (makes 2 pizzas)
300g strong bread flour
1 tsp instant yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp olive oil
For the topping
400g jar of tomato and vegetable sauce
100g dairy-free grated cheese (or mozzarella if you eat dairy)
Your mum’s favourite toppings. These could include: a few halved cherry tomatoes, black olives, sliced red onion, sliced button mushrooms, sliced green pepper and fresh basil.

Method:
For the base
1. Put the flour into a large bowl then add the yeast and salt.

2. Make a well, pour in 200ml warm water and the olive oil, and bring together with a fork.

3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for five minutes. Cut into two even pieces.

4. Roll out to your desired size, pop onto two baking trays and leave to rise somewhere warm for about 15 minutes.

For the topping
5. Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan 200°C/gas mark 7).

6. Spread the tomato topping over the base, leaving a thin gap around the edge. Sprinkle the cheese over the top, then arrange your choice of vegetables.

7. Cook in the oven for around 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the base are crispy and golden.

8. Garnish with fresh basil.

Always ask an adult for help when chopping vegetables and using a hot oven.
