It’s time spice lunch up a bit, by taking one of its basic elements and making it the star of the lunchtime show. This BBC Good Food’s recipe is super-fast, super simple, yeast-free and tastes amazing. Plus, it can be ready in under an hour, and sorts you out for the rest for the week. Game-changer!

Ingredients

200g gluten-free white flour (Doves Farm is available at most supermarkets)

1 tsp salt

3 tsp gluten-free baking powder

284ml buttermilk (or same amount of whole milk with a squeeze of lemon juice)

3 eggs

1 tsp tomato purée

2 tbsp olive oil

50g sundried tomatoes in oil (about 6-8), coarsely chopped

25g parmesan (or vegetarian parmazano), grated

Method

Step one: Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4.
