Methods

Step 01

Preheat an oven 220°C.

Step 02

First, make the pizza base. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, water and salt and bring together with a wooden spoon. The dough should be shaggy but pliable.

Step 03

Tip onto a floured work surface and knead for a few minutes until the gluten develops and the dough becomes elastic, consistent, and smooth. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film and set aside.

Step 04

Mix pizza sauce and barbecue sauce in a bowl. Set aside.

Step 05

For the topping, heat half the olive oil in medium size frying pan over a high heat.

Step 06

Add onions with a few pinches of salt and sauté until beginning to colour. Sprinkle over the sugar and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Step 07

Add a splash of white wine vinegar and cook until the liquid has evaporated off.

Step 08

Stir in the fennel seeds and oregano and continue to cook for 3 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl and allow to cool.

Step 09

Clean out the pan and place back on a medium heat with remaining oil.

Step 10

While the pan is heating up, unwrap the dough and flatten to the same size as the pan. Lay the dough base into the pan and gently push down and outwards with your fingers until the edge reaches the sides of the pan.

Step 11

While the dough is beginning to cook in the pan, spread barbecue pizza sauce over the base, leaving a gap near the edge. Add the caramelised onion mixture.

Step 12

Top with ham, pineapple rings, shredded mozzarella and bocconcini, then sprinkle with the extra oregano.

Step 13

Place into the hot oven and cook for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to colour.

Step 14

Remove from oven and pan, garnish with fresh basil, rocket and parmesan cheese.

Tips

Replace the ham with charred capsicum, sliced mushrooms, and black olives for a vegetarian option.
Sprinkle over MasterFoods™ Chilli Sprinkle for some heat. The perfect counterpoint to the sweetness of the pineapple.
Why not try this with spicy salami for some heat.
