Equipment

Ingredients

Pizza “dough” ingredients

  • 50 g dried red lentils
  • 125 ml water
  • Pinch sea salt (omit for babies under 12 months)

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Italian herbs
  • 2 tbsp basil pesto (we use out nut-free recipe)
  • 4 tbsp mixed vegetables (we used cooked mushrooms, peppers, and onion)
  • 2 tbsp pineapple (finely diced)
  • 100 g firm tofu (we cut in to star shapes with cookie cutters; finely dice/grate for babies under 12 months)
  • 25 g vegan cheese (grated)

Instructions 

  • Soak the lentils with the water for 4 hours or overnight. You can rinse and drain the lentils and replace the drained water with around 1/4 cup of fresh water (or leave and blend in the soaking water).
  • Preheat the oven to 180c/350f. 
  • Pour the lentils into 2 small piles on a baking sheet, then use the back of a measuring cup or spoon and gently spread the mix to create a thinner round pizza shape. 
  • Place in the preheated oven and cook for 12 minutes until they are no longer wet (you will be able to peel them off the baking sheet). 
  • Top with your toppings (we listed ours above) and bake for a further 5 minutes until the cheese has melted. 
  • Slice and serve.

Storage

Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 days, or freeze (with or without toppings for up to 2 months).
