Ingredients
For the dough (to make 2 medium pizzas)
- 280g strong white bread flour
- 4g fast-action dried yeast
- ½ tsp ground flaxseed (optional)
- 120ml water (preferably filtered) mixed with 50ml boiling water (also preferably filtered)
- 2 tbsp of rapeseed oil (ideally cold-pressed) (leave a little for glazing your bases)
- ½ tsp white sugar
- ¼ tsp freshly ground salt
For the sauce and toppings
- 250g vegan chocolate of choice
- 1 large bag vegan marshmallows (enough to cover 2 pizzas and extras for nibbling on)
- Cocoa powder (cacao if preferred)
- Chopped fresh fruit (optional)
Instructions
- Add the flour, salt, sugar, yeast and flax seeds into a large mixing bowl. Next, stir the oil into your lukewarm measured water.
- Pour the liquid mix into the flour mix. Use your hands to mix and knead into a soft dough that doesn’t stick to the sides of the bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp tea towel and leave in a warm place for at least 1 hour until the dough has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 280ºC/530ºF/Gas Mark 10.
- Split your dough into 2 balls. Knead for up to 2 minutes on a floured surface, then stretch or roll it out to the desired size and shape (we recommend egg shaped pizzas!).
- Transfer each base to a baking sheet, lightly glaze with rapeseed oil and part-bake for 5 minutes.
- When melting your chocolate, it’s best to chop it first so it melts quicker and more evenly. Chop into pieces or chunks of roughly the same size. Fill a medium saucepan with 4cm of water. Place over a medium heat and bring to a very gentle simmer.
- Place a heatproof bowl on top of the pan so that it fits well but doesn’t touch the water. Lower the heat to a very gentle simmer. Add the chocolate and leave to melt for 4-5 mins, stirring regularly. Carefully remove the pan from the heat and allow the chocolate to cool a little before using.
- Smother the bases in chocolate sauce as desired. Then top with marshmallows and decorate with any leftover sauce. Dust with cocoa powder and return to oven to bake for approximately 5 minutes. Keep a close eye on the marshmallows and remove when they begin to melt and brown.
- Allow to cool slightly and serve with fresh fruit or more chocolate!
