Garlic Prawn Pizza with Chorizo and Mozzarella

Method

Lightly grease two 25cm x 35cm rectangular oven trays.

To make dough, combine yeast, sugar, oil and 1 cup warm water in a jug. Add salt. Stir to combine.

Sift flour into a large bowl. Add yeast mixture. Stir with a flat bladed knife until just combined.

Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Bring together with your hands. Gently knead for about 8 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Divide dough into two equal pieces.

One at a time, roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface until large enough to line prepared trays. Lift dough onto trays. Stand for 15 minutes.

Preheat oven 240°C.

Toss prawns with oil, garlic and chilli in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Spread sauce over dough, leaving a 2cm border. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Top with prawns and chorizo. Cook pizza for 15 -20 minutes or until golden and crisp and top with fresh parsley to serve.

Serves 4.
