CHRIS BAVIN’S QUICK-&-EASY FLATBREAD PIZZA (SERVES 4)
Ingredients:
350g (12oz) plain our, plus extra for dusting; salt and freshly ground black pepper;
3 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing; 150ml (5 oz) warm water;
2 garlic cloves, crushed;
400g can cherry tomatoes; large handful of grated mozzarella;
½ red onion, nely sliced; toppings of your choice, such as sliced red onion, sliced mushrooms, tinned sweetcorn, sliced courgettes, sliced peppers, black olives or even pineapple, if that’s your thing!
Method:
For the atbreads, sift the our into a large mixing bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Create a little well in the middle of the our and add 2 tbsp of the olive oil, then start to add the water and mix well until you have a thick, but not too sticky, dough.
Knead the dough on a oured work surface for a minute or until smooth, then put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover and rest for 10 minutes.
For the pizza sauce, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and gently heat the garlic for a minute, taking care not to burn it. Add the can of cherry tomatoes and heat for 3–4 minutes. Using a potato masher, squash the tomatoes – you don’t want to make it totally smooth, just start breaking the tomatoes a bit. Leave on a gentle heat for 10 minutes until it reduces down a sauce that is thick enough to spread on your atbread.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan/425°f/gas 7).
Divide the dough into four balls and roll each one out to a thin pizza base. Put them on the lined baking trays and cook in the hot oven for 2 minutes. Remove the trays from the oven and turn the atbreads over.
Spread the tomato sauce over the cooked sides of the pizzas, sprinkle over the grated mozzarella and then top with your veggies.
Pop them back in the oven for 7–8 minutes or until the cheese is all melted.
