Mushroom-Spinach Pesto Pizza with No Knead No Yeast Dough

IMG_0066

We were going to make a real pizza but I decided to go with a "No Knead No Yeast" dough recipe. G forgot to get tomato sauce as well so we had to use Pesto instead. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE HOW A FEW CHOPPED CHERRY TOMATOES WILL GIVE THE ILLUSION OF PIZZA-NESS!

No Knead / No Yeast "Pizza" Dough Mix

1 3/4 cups self-raising flour
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup olive oil
2/3 cup boiling water

Pizza Topping

A few tablespoons of Green Pesto
A few handfuls of Mozzarella Cheese
Two handfuls of fresh spinach
1/2 cup of chopped mushrooms
1/2 punnet of Cherry Tomatoes
Italian Seasoning

Make the dough by first mixing the dry ingredients, make a little well in the centre of the bowl and then add the water and olive oil. Stir with a large spoon until it forms a kind of dough. Allow to rest for a little while before rolling out or smushing it out thinly onto a (preferably) greased pan to form a very thin biscuit base for the pizza.

Layer on the pesto, cheese, and whatever else toppings you intend to put on top. Bake in an oven of about 180 deg for about 10-15 minutes or just periodically check once in a while to see what state it is in. By the time you're done it should look like a pizza.

IS IT NOT LIKE A PIZZA?
