the once, twice ... even three times a week favourite: pizza


When it comes to pizza for one, the Lebanese bread pizza is the perfect solution! Ordering home delivery usually means waiting around for an overly salty, almost cold, greasy pizza which is too much for one person (but that one person usually only realises this after polishing off the last piece.. ) 

Lebanese bread is the ideal size for a one-person-pizza* which can be whipped up in a few minutes.

Tonight's dinner:

Ingredients:
one Lebanese bread (I always have a bag of it in the freezer) 
one sachet of Leggos Pizza sauce (one sachet is exactly the right amount to coat one piece of bread. Very annoyed the local supermarket isn't stocking any at the moment...) 
2-3 mushrooms, thinly sliced 
a handful of grated pizza cheese (usually a mix of mozzarella and a tasty..  always have it in the fridge) 
freshly ground pepper 

pre heat oven at 200 ℃
coat the Lebanese bread with a thin layer of the pizza sauce (one sachet) 
carefully cover the entire surface with the thin slices of mushroom
evenly cover with the grated cheese
place the pizza directly onto the wire rack of the oven - this allows the base to crisp up
cook for about 10-12 mins, keeping an eye on it.. remove when the edge of the bread has started to brown (not burn!) and the cheese is golden. 
remove from the oven and season which freshly ground pepper.
devour!

This mushroom pizza is the simplest version, and I usually make sure I have these basic ingredients on hand, however other "fancy" versions will no doubt pop up here in weeks to come

*some guys might want to supersize and make two..
