Ingredients

  • 500 g wholemeal bread mix
  • 330 ml warm water
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 tbsp cold water
  • 1/4 tsp mixed herbs
  • 1/4 tsp garlic granules
  • 1/4 tsp granulated sweetener
  • 1/4 tsp Henderson's relish
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 20 g cooked chicken breast, cut into small chunks
  • 1 cooked bacon medallion, cut into strips
  • 20 g red onion, peeled and finely sliced
  • 20 g red pepper, deseeded and finely diced
  • 2 cherry tomatoes, sliced

Instructions

  1. Add the bread mix to a mixing bowl, along with the warm water. Then, using your hands, mix everything into a rough ball.
  2. Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes until you have a smooth ball. Divide into 8, and shape into 8 balls. Cover and leave to prove for 20 minutes, until risen and puffy when pressed. You only need one ball of dough for this recipe, so you can freeze the rest for next time (see the tip below).
  3. To a small bowl, add the tomato purée, cold water, mixed herbs, garlic granules, sweetener, Henderson’s relish, and a little salt and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Preheat the oven to 190ºC and line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Once the dough is ready, roll out the ball of dough to approximately 16cm wide, then spread with the tomato purée mix.
  5. Add the chicken, bacon, red onion, pepper, and tomatoes.
  6. Sprinkle over the cheese and pop into the oven for 15 minutes, until the pizza base is cooked and not soggy underneath, and the cheese is bubbling and golden brown. Serve!

Recipe notes

Tip 1: Freeze your excess pizza dough by wrapping each dough ball tightly in cling film and popping them into a freezer bag or container. When you’re ready for your next pizza night, let the dough defrost fully in the fridge, then leave it out until it reaches room temperature before rolling and topping.

For a lighter pizza base use a pitta bread. Lightly toast to warm up and then carefully cut the bread horizontally to make two oval pieces. Then top as you wish.

    Hi Di, thanks for sharing your pizza base idea with us!

Hello I really want to make this it says 1 packet of Aldi whole meal bread mix but when I’ve had a look it’s over 500 grams the bag so I’m not sure how much to use for one portion? Thank you 🙂

    Hey Laura, we divide the bread mix once mixed into 70g dough balls and one of those balls is one portion for the pizza, then the unused dough balls we freeze. Hope that helps!

For the pizza base the instructions says you need 350mls water but doesn’t when to add it.

Also I’m finding it difficult to get wholemeal breadcrumbs so going to make my own. Any tips on how to do this greatly appreciated.

    Hey Julie, for this recipe we used a wholemeal bread mix that you just add water to, I’ve just had a look online and similar products are available from Sainsbury’s, Asda and Tesco. The first step of the recipe is to make the bread mix according to the packet instructions this is when you would add the water. Hope that helps!

For someone that vetoed pizza from their diet for a long time as it’s too caloric. I really enjoyed trying this & can’t wait to have another pizza night 😃

A silly question, but what is one portion here?

I’ve looked and looked but seem to be missing it.

    Hi Paddy, thanks for getting in touch with us. This pizza is 1 portion, if you think it is too much you can half the portion when cooked and serve with an accompaniment of your choice. Hope this helps

I’m sorry if this is a dumb question but how can you have “1/2 tsp Chicken Breast cut into small strips”? 1/2 tsp wouldn’t even cover my thumb nail.

    Hi Helen
    It’s a typo. The tsp should not be there, it should be 1/2 a chicken breast. It has been corrected

any hints and tips to stop it sticking so much on baking paper? sprayed with frylight and couldnt get the base off at all 🙁

Reply

    KateSaturday 23rd April 2016

    Hi Beth,
    Try lining the tray with baking parchment (not greaseproof paper) if you’re having problems with sticking. Parchment is treated with silicone, so it’s non-stick, moisture-resistant and can handle high temperatures, which makes it great for baking, especially if the recipe doesn’t include any fat, like the pizza base.

A quick and tasty alternative for the tomato sauce is a tablespoon of tomato puree, crushed garlic (to taste!) and a teaspoon of Italian mixed herbs, just stir and use – makes enough for a pitta bread sized pizza.

    Thanks for the tip Hilary, great if you don’t have the time to make the sauce from scratch.
