A light and fluffy pizza base and naturally gluten-free. Quick and easy. And topped with delicious mushrooms. No matter what kind. Any variety will do. If you want a more intense flavour, simply mix in a few dried porcini mushrooms that have been soaked in water. It comes with a delicious rocket and walnut pesto, which can also be used for your next pasta dish if there's any left over.
