- 225g Self raising flour
- 50g Butter or margarine
- 1 Egg

Pre heat the oven to 2000C/Gas mark 6
Place the flour and butter in a bowl and rub together until they resemble breadcrumbs. Mix in the egg and then add enough milk to make a soft dough. Knead lightly.
Divide the dough into 2 pieces, or 4 pieces if you want smaller pizzas and pat out into rounds. Place on non-stick baking sheets.
Mix the tomato puree, tomato ketchup and herbs together and spread over the pizza bases.
Top with grated cheese and get the children to decorate with toppings from the list above or whatever you have in the fridge according to your child?s taste.
Put in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 mins or until golden brown. Can be served hot or cold.
