Smash Pizza

Great quick meal for when I havent got any shop bought pizza bases in or just for something different.

Recipe

5 large tablespoons of smash, hot water and toppings of your choice

Put the smash into a bowl and add hot water, a little at a time until it forms a dough like consistency.
Pat the dough out into a round disc and bake for 15 minutes at 200 dc, flipping half way through.
Add passata or ketchup (Heinz) and top with strips of meat, cheese and/or grated vegetables.
This one is chicken and grated courgette.

Smash dippers

These are so quick to make and can be used for dipping with hummus etc or topped with things like salsa.

Recipe

Put 4 tablespoons of smash into a bowl and add a little bit of hot water at a time until a dough consistency is achieved.

Roll into little balls then flatten out into a disc.

Fry, or oven bake as i've done here for 15 minutes at 200 dc

Mini quiches

Too delish! We loved these - the 'base' is made from two slices of gf bread.

Recipe:

Use a rolling pin to flatten slices of gf bread (i've used Genius brown here)

Spray a muffin tin with a little oil and line them with the bread, pushing in so there aren't any holes. (use more bread to fill holes if the bread breaks up)

Fill them with your choice of egg mix.  Here i've used 2 eggs whisked up with ham and courgette.

Bake at 200 dc for 20 minutes or until egg has set
