Method
- Preheat the oven to the temperature on the ready-made base packet. Wash and slice the peppers or other vegetables; chop the salad. Drain and pat the mozzarella dry. Use a baked ready-made base, not raw dough.
- Drain and pat the firm tofu dry. Cut into 2 cm cubes or 1.5 cm slices and cook in the measured oil for 8–10 minutes, turning, until hot through and lightly golden.
- Cook any mushrooms or other firm toppings in the same pan for 4–6 minutes. Keep lettuce and cucumber raw for the side salad. Mix the measured passata with any tomato-based cooking sauce; follow a sauce label requiring separate heating. Keep yoghurt, mayonnaise and cold dressings chilled for serving.
- Spread the tomato mixture thinly over the base. Add the cooked protein and cooked toppings; tear the mozzarella over the top. Bake for the full base-packet time until the base is crisp, cheese melted and centre piping hot. The 35-minute total is an estimate; a slower base or batch needs longer.
- Cut the pizza in half. Serve half to each person with half the salad. Add any cold dressing at the table; all measured oil, toppings and dressing count in the two portions. Eat immediately; do not reheat if the base packet forbids it.
