Mise en place

  • Pre-heat the oven to 190° C (375° F - gas 5), [fan oven 170° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour]
  • Make the dough as instructed

Method

  1. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a hot frying paan or wok and add a good grind of black pepper
  2. Add the onions and sauté for 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped chicken breasts, the garlic, the chilli flakes and oregano and stir-fry for 3 or 4 minutes just to colour the chicken.
  4. Spray or lightly oil a deep 25cm (10") pizza dish or pan
  5. Roll out 2/3rds of the dough to about 3mm and line a pan so the dough just overlaps the edges and trim any excess
  6. Sprinkle the base with the Cheddar cheese
  7. Add the chicken mixture
  8. Sprinkle with one third of the Parmesan cheese
  9. Roll out the remaining dough to make a lid
  10. Pinch the lid so it joins the base and make a few slashed in the top for steam to escape
  11. Mix another third of the Parmesan cheese with the herbs and spices and mix into the tomatoes
  12. Spread the tomato mixture over the top of the dough
  13. Top with crumbled mozzarella and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese
  14. Bake for 45 minutes, resting a sheet of tin-foil on top of the pizza for the final 10 minutes
  15. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving
