Spider pizzas

-

If you prefer, you can make two large pizzas and put lots of spiders on each.

Serves 8 Prep 20 mins, plus proving Cook 12 mins per tray

1 pack pizza base mix plain flour, for dusting

120ml passata or tomato pasta sauce

1 garlic clove, crushed

150g grated mozzarella

25g-50g parmesan, grated

4 large pitted black olives

6 small slices salami or chorizo

8 small capers, drained

1 Make the pizza dough following pack instructio­ns. Tip dough onto a floured surface, flour your hands, then knead the dough for about 2 mins until fairly even, soft and bouncy. Return dough to the bowl, cover with oiled cling film, then let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hr). While dough proves, mix the passata and garlic in a bowl.

2 Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9, or as hot as it will go. Dust two baking

sheets with flour. Split the dough into eight, then roll four balls into thin, rough circles. Lift onto the floured sheets. Smear a thin layer of the tomato sauce on top of each and scatter over the mozzarella and parmesan.

3 Halve each olive and put four halves, cut-side down on four pizzas – these are the spider bodies. Cut the rest of the olive halves into thin strips, then arrange on either side of the bodies to look like legs.

4 Put four pieces of salami or chorizo on the four remaining pizza bases. Cut the other pieces of salami into thin strips and use to make the legs of the spiders. Add 2 capers to each spider for the eyes.

5 Bake each tray for 12 mins, or until golden and crisp and the cheese is starting to brown. PER SERVING 212 kcals, fat 13g, saturates 6g, carbs 10g, sugars 2g, fibre 1g, protein 12g, salt 1.2g
