I love the thin crust pizzas and wheat tortilla wraps made an ideal “instant” base - turning deliciously crisp in the oven. It is also ideal for smaller children who find the slimmer base easier to eat. Sometimes the air bubbles in the wrap puff up a bit as the pizza bakes – but they deflate as soon as they come out the oven, so don’t panic! You can use your favourite tomato sauce recipe or shop-bought sauce, or try my recipe for a speedy tomato sauce .
