I was at the Subiaco Farmer's Market over the weekend and gotten a small dehydrated pizza base from the Little Shop of Plenty, and thought it was the perfect time to make a raw pizza. I was in the mood for mushrooms and had an abundance of basil so I thought I'd combine the two and make a mushroom basil pizza and get Mykal who has been eating way too many Maccas burgers lately to come over and dine with me.
The pizza turned out gloriously. Even the meateater happily indulged and didn't have a bad thing to say about it. It was juicy and bursting with fresh flavour. Quite filling too, the base was about 20cm wide and it fed both of us and a leftover slice for Mum.
