Instructions

Get Started
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Remove the dough from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature.

c) Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.

d) Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways. 

Prep the Mozzarella
2

a) Drain the mozzarella and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.

b) Pat it dry with kitchen paper making sure you squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

c) Tear into small pieces.

Time to Roll
3

a) Halve the ball of dough

b) Sprinkle a little flour on a clean worktop, then roll each piece of dough into a thin circle, roughly the size of a dinner plate about 30cm wide and around ½ cm thick. 

c) Transfer to a large baking tray. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary. To get a crisp, well-cooked base, roll the dough out thinly. If the dough is too thick, it can end up too soft or doughy after baking. 

Bake the Pizzas
4

a) Spread the passata over the pizza bases, leaving a 1cm border around the edge. Top with the mozzarella.

b) When the oven is hot, slide the pizzas onto the top shelf and bake until the bases are golden and the cheese has melted and is bubbly, 15-18 mins. TIP: Oven temperatures may vary, so bake until the dough is cooked through and crispy. If you've used more than 1 tray, swap the trays around halfway through to ensure they cook evenly.

Fry the Veg
5

a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (if you have any) in a large frying pan on medium heat.

b) Once hot, add the chorizo and sliced onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden and softened, 8-10 mins.

c) Add the mixed herbs and sugar (see pantry for amount) and cook until caramelised, 1-2 mins more. Remove from the heat. 

d) While the onion cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in another medium frying pan on medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the Tenderstem® and stir-fry for 2-3 mins.

e) Add a splash of water, then cover with a lid (or foil) and allow to cook until tender, 4-6 mins more. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish and Serve
6

a) When the pizzas are ready, remove from the oven and transfer to your plates.

b) Top with the chorizo, broccoli and caramelised onion, then drizzle over the pesto. Sprinkle over the chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder).

c) Finish with a scattering of the rocket, drizzling the basamic glaze over the leaves to finish.
