Homemade Salami & Veg Pizza

Homemade Salami & Veg Pizza

I developed this recipe out of the family's love of pizza. As I wanted cut down of fat, I decided to try out my own ingredients, with the children's help. I started adding toppings that everyone was happy to eat. Once we tasted how delicious the pizzas turned out, we went on from there, trying out different ingredients at a time. We hope you enjoy trying them out and even adding toppings of your choice.
