These mushroom dough balls are my go to when I want something impressive but don't have hours to spend in the kitchen. Using pre made pizza dough means you can have these golden, pillowy bites ready in just over an hour, and they're incredibly budget friendly too. I sauté meaty chestnut mushrooms with garlic and that brilliant Geo Watkins ketchup, then stuff everything into dough balls and bake until crispy. The chives mixed through the garlic oil at the end add such a fresh, vibrant finish. Mushrooms are packed with B vitamins that support energy, so you're getting something genuinely nourishing alongside all that comfort food satisfaction.

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until cooked through and any water has evaporated. Add ½ of the garlic and cook for 1 more minute, stirring. Stir in 1 tbsp mushroom ketchup and ½ of the chives, season if needed, and cool completely.

Divide each ball of pizza dough into 8 even balls (a total of 16 balls). Using the palm of your hand, flatten each ball into a 7cm-diameter disc and spoon about 1 heaped tsp of the mushroom mixture into the centre. Lift the sides of the discs up to enclose the filling and pinch the dough to seal. Roll back into a ball.

Arrange the balls on a lined baking tray, leaving space between each. Brush lightly with oil and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, cooked through and piping hot.

Meanwhile, combine the remaining garlic, chives, oil and mushroom ketchup. Brush over the cooked dough balls as they come out of the oven. Serve warm.
