Air Fryer Flatbread Pizzas 🍕 For this miniseries Air Fryer Flatbread Pizzas 🍕

For this miniseries of reels I'll be sharing 4 recipes and testing out how vegan cheese melts 🧀

🍝 Episode One. Bolognese Pizza with @vbitesfoods smoked cheese

🧑‍🍳You'll need

One Greek style flatbread
A few tablespoons of leftover bolognese sauce
Grated vegan cheese
Toppings of choice, I used cherry tomatoes, olives and spring onion

Method

Air fry the flatbread for 5 mins at 200°C, place it directly in the air fryer basket 
Remove the flatbread from the air fryer and spread the sauce on top
Add grated cheese and toppings of choice
Return the flatbread to the air fryer and cook at 200°C for 5 minutes
Finally slice and serve

🔥 Melt Test; @vbitesfoods cheese melts really well! It handles heat and even stretches once heated

I love the smoked cheddar flavour, and I'd definitely recommend trying some of you haven't

I bought mine online directly from their website

This week I've been very bad at taking pictures of This week I've been very bad at taking pictures of food, my apologies

1. We had a bag of curly kale that really needed using, and I hate to waste food, so I made it into a  kale pesto. The recipe for this will be coming out at some point

2. Staffordshire oatcakes! I grew up in Staffordshire and ate these regularly. These were filled with garlicky chestnut mushrooms, vegan bacon and dairy-free cheese. They were gorgeous

3. I tried the new garlic mushroom vegan pizza from Chicago town. It was really tasty (especially for a mushroom fan like me). I bought it from Tesco for £4.50

4. I made the most of an amazing 80% off sale on vbites cheese and stocked up on lots of cheese, and got some for my partner too
