Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Remove the dough from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature.

Grate the Red Leicester and Cheddar cheese. Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion.

Pop half the red onion in a small bowl and add the red wine vinegar and sugar for the pickle (see pantry for amount). Add a pinch of salt, mix together and set aside to pickle.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the pepper, the remaining red onion and half the Mexican style spice mix. Fry until softened 5-6 mins. Continue to stir while it cooks.

Once softened, add the garlic and stir-fry, 1 min more. Remove from the heat.

Meanwhile, halve the ball of dough.

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

Transfer to a large baking tray. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Spread the passata over the pizza bases, leaving a 1cm border around the edge.

Sprinkle over the remaining Mexican style spice mix all over the base. Top with cooked bell pepper, red onion and sprinkle over the cheeses.

Top with the chorizo slices, spacing them out in an single even layer.

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.
