How To Make Slow Cooker Easy-peasy Pizza
- Prepare the pizza base: Line your slow cooker with baking paper and place the pizza base at the bottom with the edges slightly rolled up.
- Add toppings: Spread the tomato purée (paste) evenly on the base, sprinkle the oregano, top with mozzarella, chorizo, and olives.
- Cook: Cover and cook on high for 2 hours.
- Serve: Drizzle with chilli oil and serve with a fresh salad on the side.
Recipe Tips
- Use a sturdy pizza base: Make sure your pizza base is firm enough to hold the toppings without becoming soggy during cooking.
- Don’t overfill: Less is more—too many toppings can make the pizza soggy and harder to cook properly.
- Roll up the edges: Rolling up the edges of the pizza base helps prevent the toppings from spilling over while cooking.
- Preheat the slow cooker: Let the slow cooker warm up before adding the pizza to ensure even cooking.
- Check towards the end: Near the 2-hour mark, check the pizza for crispiness. If you want a crunchier base, cook for a little longer.
