Ingredients and Method:

  1. 8 pieces of breadwhite/multigrain
  2. BBQ sauce and mayonaise as base sauce
  3. Sprinkle a bit of cheese on base sauce
  4. Top with – mushroom/capsicum/fresh tomato/Shallots (veg)
  5. Meat could be any bacon/chicken or ham you have in stock
  6. Put a final layer of cheese and oregano on top and salt and pepper then cook in your little oven

I hate making pizza bases from scratch – it’s hard, messy and bread just works really well.

This is a meal for two – eg. you and a m8!

Puuurrfect!!

Staying Out of Politics and Working on Myself

By Dylan

I’m only 23 years old but I feel like I’m 43. Being in prison definitely preserves your body but makes your mind and soul feel so much older if you know what I mean.
