Directions
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add cold butter, then, using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until it is sandy in texture.
- Make a well in the centre, then slowly add soda water, cutting it into the flour with a butter knife, until it just forms a ball of dough. Use more water if needed. Gently press into a sheet of cling film and rest in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 220C. Roll out on a floured surface until approximately 5mm thick. Use a large cookie cutter to cut into 16-20 individual bases or just stamp out half that amount and reserve or freeze the remaining dough for later. Top with one of these combos below.
Toppings
Bacon and egg:Spread bases with tomato pasta sauce (ketchup or American mustard will also work). Cut cooked bacon rashers into long strips. Arrange them around the edges of the pizza to form a wall. Place on a hot pizza stone or oven tray, crack an egg into the middle of each one, sprinkle with a little pepper and bake until the egg is cooked and the base is crispy.
Peanut butter banana:Spread bases with peanut butter (mixed with a little jam if that's your thing). Add slices of banana, a hint of nutmeg or cinnamon and a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce. Place directly onto a hot pizza stone or oven tray and bake until golden.

Spaghetti and cheese:Mix a small can of spaghetti with an equal amount of grated cheddar and a little chopped onion or spring onion. Spoon on pizza bases, top with extra cheese and a slice of gherkin. Place directly on a hot pizza stone or oven tray and bake until crispy and melty. Enough to top 8-10 mini pizzas.
