Pizza Wraps!

I discovered this a while ago and since then, I haven't stopped making them. The name is self-explanatory really... it's a pizza in a wrap! You can add anything you want into them, and eat them on their own or with a side (like chips) so they're perfect for any meal. Plus, they only take about 10 minutes to make!



What you need:
  • A wrap - I use large ones so I can fit everything onto it
  • Tomato puree
  • A sprinkling of cheese - depends on how much you like
  • Preferred fillings

Step 1: Chuck everything on!




Preheat the oven to about 200°C.

Lay the wrap on a big plate to stop all the fillings falling everywhere. Alternatively, use a baking tray, as you'll need that later on anyway.

Start by squeezing a blog of tomato puree into the centre of the wrap and spreading it all over. As you can see, I didn't go right to the edges on mine - I put everything fairly central so it was easier to wrap.

Sprinkle the cheese onto the passata, and top that with any fillings you have. I tend to put half the cheese down first, then most of the toppings with the rest of the cheese. It all melts together that way!






Step 2: It's pizza origami time...


Carefully fold two sides of the wrap in towards each other, so it looks like this. This is where you need to start controlling the ingredients, or it could get very messy... trust me, it's happened far too many times!

The two sides should stay down fairly well, because the ingredients will stick to each other. If not, the next fold will stop them coming apart. It's like pizza-wrap origami!



~ Top Tip ~ 
If you find that the folds aren't sticking too well, try using a few blobs of tomato puree as glue!








Fold the bottom of the wrap over the top of the two folds you just did, so it looks like this. It should reach to about the middle of the wrap, leaving room for the top half to fold over next.

You're almost done!










Finally, fold the top of the wrap to meet the bottom fold. Use some tomato puree glue to stick the wrap together, as this part won't have much filling on it. If it's not sticking very well and keeps wanting to pop back up again, carefully pick up the wrap and flip it over so that the opening is on the bottom.

Transfer the wrap to a baking tray and put it in the oven for 5 minutes. The wrap should feel crispy when you tap it gently with a fork. If it doesn't feel crispy enough, put it back in for 2-minute intervals until it browns and crisps up. If you have master-wrap-flipping skill, you could try turning it over and toasting the other side for a few minutes!







So there you have it... a pizza wrap. Very easy, quick, cheap and you can eat it for any meal. Perfect student food! I made mine with homemade crispy potatoes... another little recipe for those coming soon!

Thank you for reading, and I hope I've made you hungry...
