Vegan roast cherry tomato & pesto flatbread pizza

This recipe is super simple, and absolutely packed with flavour.

It’s made on repeat in my house, I just can’t get enough of it.

The spelt flour provides a lovely nutty base, and you can mix and match the toppings.

But I absolutely love the combination of basil pesto and the gooey bursting roast tomatoes. A lovely taste of summer in every bite!

The pesto and roast tomatoes also make the best toast topper.

Other yummy additions would be; roast aubergine, capers, olives, peppers, mushrooms, cashew ‘Parmesan’.

You can add any fresh herbs, I love basil, thyme, mint, oregano.

And for the flour, you can use any flour, white, wholemeal, rye are all great. Or use a gluten-free flour as the base.

I hope you enjoy, love Niki xx
