Ingredients

Scale

Dough

500g pack bread mix
1 tbsp flour or semolina (for dusting)

Toppings

1 small jar pizza tomato sauce (about 150g)
100g pack salami, sliced
10 peppadews, halved
1 red onion, thinly sliced
Large pinch crushed chilli flakes
140g mozzarella, cut into 3cm cubes
Handful oregano, leaves picked

Instructions

Prepare the dough: Heat your oven to 220C (200C fan or gas mark 7). Follow the instructions on the bread mix packet to prepare the dough, ensuring it stays light and sticky. Knead it for a few minutes until smooth.
Let the dough rise: Place the kneaded dough in a covered, oiled bowl and leave it at room temperature for 30 minutes to rise.
Shape the dough: After rising, gently knock the dough to release the air. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to fit your largest baking tray.
Prepare the base: Sprinkle flour or semolina over the baking tray to prevent sticking. Place the rolled-out dough onto the tray.
Add toppings: Spread the pizza tomato sauce evenly over the dough base. Scatter the sliced salami, halved peppadews, thinly sliced red onion, crushed chili flakes, mozzarella cubes, and fresh oregano leaves evenly.
Bake the pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough turns crusty and golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

You can substitute peppadews with sweet red peppers if unavailable.
Using semolina instead of flour on the baking tray adds a crunchy texture to the base.
Adjust the amount of chili flakes according to your spice preference.
Allow the dough to rise fully for a lighter, softer crust.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes after baking for easier slicing.
