PANTRY PIZZA PRONTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Slice the focaccia round in half through the middle to create 2 rounds. Place cut-side up on a baking sheet. Brush the bread with the olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Spoon 1/4 cup of the marinara over each round and sprinkle the provolone over the top, making sure to leave the outer edge of the focaccia rounds exposed. Over the cheese, distribute the sausage slices, hot cherry peppers, kalamata olives, artichokes and Manzanilla olives across each round.
• Bake until the edges are golden and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Dot or drizzle the pizzas with the pesto and sprinkle with the Parmesan and basil. Slice and serve.

MINI TOP-YOUR-OWN PIZZAS

Steps:

• Put the flour in a large bowl. Add a little salt to one side of the bowl and the yeast to the other side. Sprinkle over the sugar, together with a spoon, and add the oil and 190ml warm water. Combine with a spoon until all the flour comes away from the sides of the bowl, then tip onto a floured surface. Knead for 5-10 mins or until smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a clean bowl, add the dough, cover with cling film and leave to rise for 1 hr.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Pour the passata into a saucepan, add the basil and mixed herbs, then season and bring to the boil over a low heat. Simmer gently for 5 mins, then set aside to cool. Chop the toppings.
• Once the dough has risen, tip it out, knock out the air and divide into 6 equal parts. Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9 and place 2 large baking sheets in the oven.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle around 15cm in diameter. Pick up the circle of dough and toss about a metre up, spinning it in the air. Catch it on the back of your hand, so your fingers don't poke through the dough. Do this at least 3 times to achieve a thin central base and a thicker outside crust. Alternatively, you could carry on rolling, but it's not as much fun!
• Lay the bases onto baking parchment (2 bases on 1 piece of parchment) and carefully slide each pair inside a plastic bag 'tent' for 15 mins to prove again.
• After the second rise, spread the sauce over the bases and add the and mozzarella. Take the baking sheets out the oven and quickly slide the pizzas (still on their baking parchment) on top. You can cook 2-3 pizzas per tray. Return to the oven and bake for 12 mins. Take out, slice and eat.
