Emily's option

I have a yeast-based pizza dough called "perfect pizza" which is also worth you checking out

Ingredients

  • Pizza base
  • 500g baking potatoes, skin on, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 50g mature cheddar cheese, grated
  • Topping
  • 4 tbsp tomato puree
  • 4 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • your favourite toppings

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas mark 6 and line a baking tray with some baking parchment.

2 Put the potatoes in a pan with slightly salted cold water. Bring to the boil, simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender, and then drain. Put the potatoes in a large bowl and allow them a few minutes to cool.

3 Add the oil, egg and cheese to the potato. Season with black pepper and mash together until smooth.

4 Put the mixture on the baking tray. Shape into a rectangle, and press lightly with a spatula to get a smooth surface. Bake for 15 minutes.

5 Remove from the oven. Mix together the tomato puree and tomato ketchup to make a quick tomato sauce. Spread the sauce evenly over the base. Now add your choice of toppings and place it back in the oven to bake for another 10-15 minutes. Eat the pizza straight out of the oven for best results.
