2 tbs olive oil
1 tsp dried herbs (oregano, basil etc)

4. Line the baking tray with the baking paper.
5. Place the dough on the baking paper and roll it out with a rolling pin until it’s 5-7mm thick.
6. Turn the edges up slightly so that it will hold the sauce.
7. In a bowl, mix together the Tomato Sauce ingredients – or use your tomato sauce of choice.
8. Using a blender, blend together the Bean Cheese ingredients.
9. Spread the tomato sauce over the base and then drizzle the bean cheese.
Tip: Save some tomato sauce and bean cheese to put on top of the toppings later on!
10. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges start to darken a little.
11. Remove from the oven and add toppings like cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, olives, kale, spring onions etc… even banana if you’re feeling brave (we love it!)
12. Drizzle with the left over tomato sauce and bean cheese and place back in the oven for around 10 minutes until toppings are well cooked.
