Ingredients
- For the base:
- 125ml Renastep™ (1 bottle)
- 2g yeast
- 150g flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 20g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- For the topping:
- 10g fresh basil
- 5ml oil
- 1/2 garlic clove
- 1 tsp (5g) red pepper, finely sliced
- 1 tsp (5g) green pepper, finely sliced
- 3g red onion, sliced
- 10g Violife mozzarella style, grated
- 5g carrot
Method
-
For the base:
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas Mark 6.
-
Place the Renastep and yeast into a mixing bowl and stir until combined.
-
Add the flour, sugar and oil to the Renastep and yeast mixture and mix together by hand until a dough forms. Knead for 2 minutes
-
Leave the dough to rise for 60 minutes in a warm place.
-
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and roll the dough ball into a rectangle 22cm long and 13cm wide. Using a knife, cut a diagonal line from the centre of the top of the rectangle to the bottom left and right corners to create a triangle shape.
-
Place the triangle onto a baking tray lined with grease proof paper. Use the remaining dough to make a small tree trunk at the bottom of the triangle – stick this to the tree with a drop of oil.
-
For the topping:
To make the pesto, blend the basil, oil and garlic together in a bowl, using a hand blender.
-
Take your pizza base and cover the tree with pesto using the back of a spoon to spread. Leave a border around the edge.
-
Place the sliced pepper and red onion across the tree in rows to resemble tinsel.
-
Sprinkle Violife mozzarella style over the pizza
-
To make a star, slice a large carrot lengthways to make a thin slice, cut out a star shape and place at the top of the tree.
-
Cook the base and topping in the oven at 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas Mark 6 for approximately 15 minutes. Serve warm.
