Preparation
Step 1
Sauce:
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add remaining ingredients, stir, and adjust heat so it is simmering gently (about medium heat). Cook down for 40 minutes, then puree with a stick (or cool a bit then transfer to blender).
Step 3
COOL before using (hot sauce = soggy base). (Note 4)
Step 4
Pizzas:
Step 5
Top a flatbread with 2.5 tbsp of Sauce. Sprinkle a tiny amount of cheese over the base, avoiding the very edges (glue for toppings - see video).
Step 6
Sprinkle over onion, capsicum, salami, olives, mushrooms then cheese. Repeat with remaining flatbreads.
Step 7
Stack them using paper in between each pizza. Wrap in groups of 3 or so (whatever you are comfortable handling). Transfer to a large airtight container or ziplock bag and freeze.
Step 8
Baking:
Step 9
