3 red capsicums, sliced

1 large brown onion,

thinly sliced

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 tsp fennel seeds

2 Tbsp barbecue sauce

Base

250g wholemeal flour, plus a little

200ml lukewarm water

oiling hands

1 To make pizza base, preheat oven to 200°C (fan-forced). Spray a 25 x 35cm Swiss roll tin or large rectangula­r baking tray with cooking spray. Line a small baking tray with baking

paper. Put flour and yeast in a large bowl. Add water and 1 Tbsp oil. Use a flat-bladed knife to mix until mixture comes together to form a soft dough.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Return to bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and set aside to rest while making topping.

2 Toss capsicums and onion with oil and fennel seeds. Put on baking tray and roast for 15 minutes.

3 Meanwhile, combine barbecue sauce, tomato puree and the water in a small bowl.

4 Use lightly oiled hands to press dough into the base of tin. Spread with two-thirds of the barbecue sauce mix. Add chicken to rest of barbecue sauce. Toss to combine. Spread roasted capsicum mixture over pizza. Scatter over tomatoes and evenly spoon over barbecue chicken. Sprinkle over cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until base is cooked through. Serve.
