Lactose Free Pizza Recipes

FLORENTINE DAIRY-FREE PIZZA

Steps:

• To make the base, tip the flour into the bowl of a table-top mixer (or food processor with a dough attachment). Add 1 tsp salt to one side of the bowl and the yeast to the other. Add 275ml lukewarm water and mix on slow until a sticky dough forms. Turn up the mixer for 5-6 mins until an indent pushed into the dough pops out quickly. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, then cover and leave in a warm place to prove until doubled in size.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and sizzle the garlic for a few secs, then tip in the tomatoes, season and simmer for 5 mins until the sauce has thickened.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Knead the dough for a few mins, then halve and roll each half as thinly as possible. Lay each base on a baking sheet dusted with the semolina. Divide the tomato sauce between the pizzas, spreading almost to the edge. Dot over the spinach, add your toppings and drizzle with a little oil. Cook for 5 mins, then crack an egg onto each pizza. Swap the baking sheets, then cook for 10 mins more or until bases are cooked through. Drizzle the basil and rocket with a drop of oil and the lemon juice. Scatter over the pizza before eating.

LACTOSE-FREE PIZZA

Steps:

• To make the pizza dough, tip the flour into a bowl, put the yeast on one side and the salt on the other. Make a well in the centre and pour in 200ml warm water and the olive oil. Mix together with your hands to form a rough dough, then tip onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 8-10 mins until smooth and springy. Put into an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hr.
• Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9 and put a baking sheet inside to heat up. Knock the dough back into the bowl, then divide into two balls. Press the dough balls into flat rounds on a floured work surface, then roll into 5mm thick pizza bases, about 25cm wide. Transfer to two sheets of baking parchment.
• Mix the passata, garlic and oregano in a small bowl with some seasoning. Spoon the sauce over the bases, leaving a 1cm border. Scatter with the finely grated cheese and any of the toppings, if you like. Transfer the pizzas, cooking one at a time, onto the preheated tray with the baking parchment. Bake for 10 mins until the crusts are golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining pizza.
• Top the pizzas with the rocket and the cheese shavings, then drizzle over the oil to serve.
