If you don’t have any pizza dough or sauce, don’t let that stop you. There are many different things you can use as substitutes.
Pizza bases can be made out of:
- Any kind of bread– pita bread, halved baguettes, naan bread, regular sliced bread
- Cauliflower – this cauliflower base is low-carb and includes a big serve of vegetables
- Yoghurt – it may be hard to believe but it is easy to turn a pottle of yoghurt into a pizza base simply by mixing it with flour. Here’s a recipe for yoghurt pizza dough which can be made with unsweetened yoghurt for a savoury pizza or sweetened yoghurt for a dessert pizza.
Sauces:
- Tomato or BBQ sauce
- Leftover pasta sauce or passata
- Mashed or pureed vegetables such as pumpkin or carrots
