Ingredients:

For the base: 300g strong bread flour, 1 tsp instant yeast, 1 tsp sale, 1 tsp olive oil, 200ml warm water.

For the chilli tomato sauce base: 80ml passata, 2 heaped tsp chilli jam

For the topping: we used grated mozzarella, pepperoni, mushroom, chopped chilli, Bhut Grinder

To finish: basil leaves, drizzle of olive or chilli oil.

Method:

Turn the oven onto full heat, or fire up your pizza oven.

Put the flour in a bowl, add the instant yeast and salt.  Make a well in the middle, add 200ml of warm water and the olive oil.  Mix with a wooden spoon and you’ll end up with a sticky soft dough.  On a lightly floured surface, turn the dough out and knead it for a few minutes.

Pull into two, and keep the other half covered with a tea towel.  Roll the first half out – try and make it into a thin round base so it cooks through.  Carefully lift the base onto a piece of lightly floured baking sheet.  Add half the passata and chilli jam and smooth the sauce out to near the edges.  Add the mozzarella, followed by your toppings.  Transfer the baking sheet very carefully onto the hot tray and pop it on the top shelf of your oven.  Keep a close eye on it – ours take around 7 minutes at 220 degrees.

Add a drizzle of olive oil / chilli oil, a few basil leaves – and enjoy!
