Ingredients**
- 1 recipe of Loprofin basic bread
For the sauce
- 1 medium onion sliced in half moons
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves crushed
- 20g Loprofin Mix
- 20g butter
- 200mls Sno-Pro or Loprofin Drink
For the topping
- 50g low protein parmesan cheese
- 100g low protein mozzarella cheese
- 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
Method
- Follow the Loprofin bread recipe and cover the dough to allow it to prove in a bowl for 20 minutes.
- To make the white sauce, heat the oil in a pan over medium/low heat and soften the onions for 5 minutes. Then add the butter and garlic and fry for 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle on the Loprofin Mix and stir with a wooden spoon to make a roux, then slowly add the Sno-Pro or Loprofin Drink a little at a time, stirring to make a smooth white sauce.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring to stop the sauce sticking to the base of the pan before removing from the heat and allow to cool.
- Roll out the pizza base to any size or shape you like use a little Loprofin mix to stop it sticking (make individual or one large pizza base, round or rectangle to fit any baking sheet you have) - the thickness of a pound coin is the right thickness.
- Spread over the cooled white sauce, then sprinkle over the dried herbs and grated low protein cheese.
- Allow to prove in a warm place for 15 minutes then bake the pizza at 180°C for 15 minutes (small pizzas might take less time.)
- Once the pizza is out the over, allow to cool for 5 minutes on the tray before slicing.
- You can cool this pizza and freeze until needed. To re-warm, place in a 170°C oven for 10 minutes.
