Spicy Margherita Pizza

This spicy margherita pizza is a real hit with anyone who loves a bit of heat on their pizza. I use harissa paste on the pizza base to give it lots of flavour so it's definitely not your average cheese and tomato pizza! Great for pizza night, parties and family dinners.

Ingredients

Ingredients for the pizza dough

300 ml warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
500 strong white flour
1 teaspoon salt
7 g fast action yeast

Ingredients for the Topping

150 ml passata
4 teaspoon harissa paste
250 g mozzarella ball
100 g cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 tablespoon fresh basil roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

How to Make the Pizza Dough

Put all the ingredients into the breadmaker starting with the wet ingredients and then the dry ingredients.
Set the breadmaker to the dough setting. My breadmaker takes 45 minutes but this can vary between brands.

How to Make the Spicy Margherita Pizza

Preheat the oven to 220°c
Divide the dough into quarters. Roll out until thin (about 3mm).
Put the pizza bases onto baking trays coated in a little flour or a sheet of non-stick baking paper
Spread each base with passata. Then spread a generous teaspoon of harissa paste on top.
Slice the mozzarella and sqeeze each slice between some kitchen roll before topping the pizzas with the mozzarella. This stops excess liquid from leaking out of the mozzarella as it cooks.
Top each pizza with a few halved cherry tomatoes and a little basil.
Bake the pizzas in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
