Chicken and pepperoni pizza
- 200 grams chicken, cut into strips
- 1 pepperoni (or chorizo) slices
- 500 grams mozzarella cheese, grated
- 3 large tomatoes, quartered
- 2 tbsp tomato puree
- 1 handful of fresh basil leaves
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 salt and pepper
- 1 olive oil
- 450 grams white bread flour
- 2 tsp dried yeast
- 1 warm water
- 1/2 medium onion, in slices
- 1 pepper, cut into thin strips
- 2 red chillies, deseeded
- Recipe makes two large pizzas.
- First make the dough.
- Put the flour in a mixing bowl with 1 teaspoon each of sugar and salt, and the yeast.
- Add 2 tablespoons of oil and 300ml of warm water.
- Mix and knead to form a dough, adding more water if too dry and more flour if too wet.
- Tip onto a floured work surface and kneed for a further 5 mins.
- Oil the inside of the bowl, then cover with clingfilm and leave somewhere warm to prove, until the dough has doubled in size (about an hour probably).
- Preheat oven to 200C.
- Divide the dough into two (or more depending on number and size of pizzas wanted) and roll into pizza bases.
- Blend the tomatoes, tomato puree, chillies and garlic to a smooth sauce in a blender or food processor.
- Add the remaining sugar, and salt and pepper to taste, along with some of the basil leaves.
- Spread the sauce over the bases and scatter over the mozzarella.
- Arrange the chicken, pepperoni, pepper and onion slices over the top, then the basil leaves and drizzle with a little olive oil.
- Bake on the oven for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is lightly browned.
- Serve fresh from the oven and enjoy!
