Bethany's Vegan Kitchen

Really easy to make, and you can easily customise the toppings to suit your tastes. I went with six different flavours, margherita, Hawaiian, farmhouse, meat feast, garden party and sweet chilli pulled chicken. All completely vegan of course, but you can choose whatever toppings you like

4. Toppings of your choice

Method;

• Line two baking trays with baking paper, lay three pittas out on each
• Spoon a little pizza sauce onto each, using the back of the spoon to spread the sauce
• Top with cheese, your toppings of choice and then pop them into the oven
