Lockdown Recipes: National Pizza Day

In honour of National Pizza Day, we've brought you the tastiest pizza recipes you can eat in the morning, noon, and night!

Breakfast

What could be better than mixing a traditional fry-up with a pizza? This recipe is the perfect reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Ingredients: Two cups plain white flour, 2 tsp baking powder, water, 4 eggs, smoked bacon, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, 2 pork sausages (optional)

Method:

1. Mix flour, baking powder and water together in a bowl until you form a dough. Lightly dust the surface with flour and roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape.
2. Place the rolled pizza dough onto a prepared baking sheet and top with shredded cheese. Crack the 4 eggs into each corner of the pizza and arrange the bacon around the eggs before topping with tomatoes.
3. Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.

Go all out by adding chunks of pre-cooked sausages to get the real breakfast of champions!

Lunch/Dinner

Bring a touch of Spain to your pizza with some tasty tapas ingredients to top it off.

Method:

1. Mix flour, baking powder and water together in a bowl until you form a dough. Lightly dust the surface with flour and roll out the dough to you desired thickness and shape

Dessert

Smore Pizza
This may put you in a sugary coma but it will be totally worth it. Trade the floury dough for cookie dough to create your super sweet base.

Ingredients: Ready-prepared cookie dough, mini-marshmallows, 200g digestive biscuits, 50g chocolate chips, chocolate sauce

Method: 

1. Roll the cookie dough out and place into a lightly greased pizza size baking tray, flattening it to the edges
2. Bake for 8-10 minutes until it begins to brown slightly
3. Remove the dough from the oven and sprinkle it with chocolate chips, digestive biscuits and marshmallows
4. Place it back into the oven for 5-8 minutes until the chocolate and marshmallows have begun to melt
5. Leave it to cool slightly before topping with chocolate sauce

The doughy goodness we all love can be so versatile, try your favourite toppings and see what you can come up with!
