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.
SharonTuesday 9th May 2023
Hi Di, thanks for sharing your pizza base idea with us!
LauraWednesday 25th May 2022
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 🙂
HollyWednesday 25th May 2022
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!
JulieSaturday 21st May 2022
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.
HollyTuesday 24th May 2022
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 😃
HollyThursday 9th September 2021
Hi Sarah, thanks for your message so glad you enjoyed this pizza! We also have some other pizza recipes to try like this Chicken Tandoori Pizza, Sausage Egg and Chips Pizza or our Pizza Waffles

A silly question, but what is one portion here?
I’ve looked and looked but seem to be missing it.
Steve CowderoyTuesday 12th May 2020
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
HelenSaturday 4th February 2017
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.
KateSunday 5th February 2017
Hi Helen
It’s a typo. The tsp should not be there, it should be 1/2 a chicken breast. It has been corrected
TunzelaThursday 12th May 2016
How many balls of dough do u roughly get out of the packet ? Thanx
KayThursday 12th May 2016
I think it was about 10-12 🙂
bethSaturday 23rd April 2016
any hints and tips to stop it sticking so much on baking paper? sprayed with frylight and couldnt get the base off at all 🙁
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.
HilaryMonday 18th April 2016
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.
KateSaturday 23rd April 2016
Thanks for the tip Hilary, great if you don’t have the time to make the sauce from scratch.
