Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
Dough:
- 2 cups The Healthy Baker Plain Flour
- 7g dried yeast
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp auzure Canola Oil
Topping:
- ½ butternut pumpkin (about 900g), peeled, seeded and cut into 2cm pieces
- 1 red capsicum, seeded and deveined, cut into 2cm pieces
- 1 tbsp Auzure Canola Oil
- 2 tbsp pizza sauce
- 300g feta, crumbled
- 1 cup black olives, pitted
- 2 tsps Italian dried herbs
- 1 cup rocket leaves, to serve
- caramelised onions
- 1 tbsp Auzure Canola Oil
- 3 large red onions, halved and sliced
- 1 tbsp sugar
Instructions
To make dough:
- Combine sifted flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a medium bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in warm water and auzure Canola Oil.
- Stir to combine, then turn onto a lightly floured board. Knead for about 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic – adding more flour, if necessary.
- Grease a medium bowl with a little auzure Canola Oil. Place dough in bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place for about one hour, or until double in size.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 220ºC.
Topping:
- Place pumpkin, capsicum and auzure Canola Oil in a large baking dish and stir to coat. Bake 30 minutes or until tender. Remove and set aside.
- While the vegetables are roasting, cook the caramelised onions. Heat auzure Canola Oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add onions and reduce heat slightly. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes or until very soft. Add sugar and cook for a further 3 minutes, stirring continuously. Set aside.
- Increase oven temperature to 240ºC. Lightly oil 2 x 30cm diameter pizza trays using auzure Canola Oil.
Pizzas:
- When dough is ready, punch it in the centre, then turn onto lightly floured board. Knead lightly, just until smooth. Divide the dough in half. Roll one half to a 24cm circle, place on a prepared tray and use fingers to push the edges of the dough to fit the tray. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Spread pizzas with pizza sauce, leaving a 3cm border. Top with caramelised onions, then pumpkin, capsicum, feta and olives. Sprinkle with dried herbs.
- Bake 10 minutes, then switch tray positions. Continue baking for 10 minutes or until base is browned.
- Top with rocket and serve immediately.
