Quick Linseed Pizza !
This pizza linseed Pizza is “free-from” most things but delicious. It is super healthy, I use little or no salt, it can be free from saturated fat and vegan, of course low GI, gluten-free and completely paleo. Everyone eats this as happily as the “real” thing seemingly oblivious to it being über healthy and free from. It is properly sustaining but not bloating like wheat based pizza and works better and tastier than bought pizza bases.

Instructions
Pizza Base
- Mix all the ingredients. It should be a soft-ish dough, if it is too stiff add a little water, if too soft add extra ground linseed.

- Bake for approx 10 minutes in a 200 Centigrade oven until firm but not hard.
Pizza sauce
- Crush garlic and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Add chopped tomatoes and purée to a saucepan and cook to reduce the sauce so that it forms a loose thick paste.
- Then add fresh herbs, crushed garlic and linseed oil into the reduced sauce, bubble for a few more moments.
Pizza Topping
- While sauce is reducing and base cooking Roughly tear or chop the greens and then add these to a saucepan with 1/2 tsp oil and 1 - 2 tsp water. Wilt the greens in the saucepan and evaporate water.
- Spread sauce evenly over the pizza base.
- Sprinkle nutritional yeast over tomato sauce, press into sauce lightly and over that arrange wilted spinach and top with sliced olives and onion slices .
- Place pizza in 200 Centigrade oven for 10 minutes and remove after this time. Allow to cool a little and then serve.
