MEDITERRANEAN PIZZA

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on the surface of the water and let rest for 5 minutes without stirring. Add olive oil and sea salt and stir with a fork. Add 2 cups of flour and stir with a fork until the flour is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes sticky. Add an additional 1 cup of flour and knead to incorporate. Transfer the dough to a work surface floured with the remaining 1/2 cup of flour. Knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the flour is incorporated and the dough is smooth and supple. Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for 90 minutes at room temperature. Divide the dough into 4 balls.

CARAMELISED ONION & GOAT'S CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the flour into a mixer with a dough hook, or a bowl. Add the yeast, salt, oil and just under 100ml warm water then mix to a soft dough. Knead in the food mixer for about 5 mins, but if making this by hand, tip onto a work surface and knead for about 10 mins. The dough is sticky, but try not to add too much extra flour. Leave in the bowl and cover with a tea towel while you make the topping. There is no need to let the dough prove for a specific time - just let it sit while you get on with the next step.
• Tip the onions into a non-stick wok and add the oil, 4 tbsp water and balsamic vinegar. Cover with a saucepan lid that sits inside the pan to help the onions soften, then cook for 15 mins, stirring about 3 times and replacing the lid quickly so as not to lose too much moisture. After the time is up, the onions should be golden and all the liquid gone. Tip onto a plate. Add the spinach and garlic to the pan and stir-fry until the spinach has wilted.
• Take the dough from the bowl and cut in half with an oiled knife, then press each piece into a 25-15 cm oval on a large greased baking sheet with oiled hands. Don't knead the dough first otherwise it will be too elastic and it will keep shrinking back.
• Spread with the spinach followed by the onions, then dot with the cheese and scatter with the olives, thyme and sunflower seeds. Bake for 15 mins until golden and the base is cooked through.

VEGETABLE AND GOAT CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan, add the onion, pepper and zucchini and saute over a medium heat for 4-5mins. Add the herbs and season with black pepper. Cook for a further 2 mins or until lightly browned and tender. Remove from the heat.
• Place the pizza bases on a baking tray and spread half the fresh salsa over each base. Scatter the vegetables over the pizza then crumble over the goat cheese. Season with black pepper and bake for 10-12 mins, until the base is cooked through.
