SW Free smash pizza

Firstly, can I just chip on on the eggs issue you just mentioned?
The fact that eggs cause high cholesterol is actually a myth! Due to research carried out in the nineties (I think it was the 90's..) and the results misconstrued in the media. The cholesterol in eggs is different to humans and can not be transferred - they're completely fine to eat!
Next.. regarding the whole Smash pizza debate.. I think it's quite easy to work this one out logically. Think about what you are eating - is it adding more to your plate? Are you having chips with your pizza? Would you usually eat a whole packet of Smash in a cottage pie and then add the same amount of chips you're going to eat with the pizza? If your quantities are still all the same, your plate is still a third superfree and you're satisfied equally (or more) then no harm is being done really is it?!
My tuppence, although this is just fuel for the fire I guess... always drink a glass of water with your pizza (or before it) as liquid, when in the stomach, tells the brain it is fuller for longer. I imagine that because you're using a lot less water to make the mash, you're going to get hungry quicker afterwards.

I made mini Smash pizzas last weekend to take to a friends for a night in, i topped with cheese, red onion, peppers, mushroom and ham, was yummy but the bases were a little hard. I baked each side for 15 mins like recipe said - do u just think they need less time in oven or perhaps more water in the base mix??

I love smash pizza! I haven't read the whole post, so I don't know if this has been said before, but I always make my base with an egg and a very small amount of water to make a dough, plus seasoning (dried herbs, mustard s&p etc). I use the Tesco 20p bags of smash. They are 120g. The egg kind of binds it and makes the dough easier to work IMHO.
