Serves:

Cooking Time:

< 15 min

Ingredients:

Pizza base:
480 g cake flour or white bread flour
375 ml lukewarm water
10 ml salt
5 ml sugar
10 g instant yeast

Topping:
2 red onion(s), halved & sliced
45 ml oil
60 ml brown sugar
300 g LANCEWOOD® Gouda or Cheddar, grated
500 g LANCEWOOD® Mozzarella, sliced
140 g bacon
speck or ham
300 g feta
plain or herb
salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
rocket leaves
2 handfuls
avocado(s), sliced (optional)

Method

Pizza base:

Combine the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a bowl.
Add 45 ml of the oil to the lukewarm water. Add to the flour and mix to a dough.
Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic for about 5 minutes.
Lightly oil the bowl with the remaining oil and return the dough to it.
Cover and leave in a warm place until double in size – about 1½ hours.
Punch down and divide into 2 balls. Leave to rest for 5 minutes.
Roll out on a floured surface into 2 large rectangles. Place on 2 baking sheets.
Bake in a preheated oven at 250°C for 3 minutes. Remove from oven. Brush the edges with oil.

Topping:

Heat the oil and fry the onions until just soft, add the sugar and stir to melt and caramelize.
Sprinkle the grated cheese over the bases, top with slices of mozzarella, then onion and bacon or ham. Crumble the feta cheese over and season to taste.
Return to the preheated oven and bake for 5 – 7 minutes or until golden and bubbling.

To serve: Scatter rocket over the top, cut and serve at once.

HINTS & TIPS:

Instead of onion, ham and rocket, use tomatoes, basil and drizzle with balsamic reduction.
You can also use onion, ham and rocket, curried chicken, avocado, dollops of LANCEWOOD® Cultured Cream, coriander and chilli.
