Method

1.Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Place two oven trays in oven to heat.
2.Make pizza bases. Combine yeast, sugar and water in a small bowl; cover. Stand in a warm place about 10 minutes, or until frothy. Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the yeast mixture and olive oil; mix to a soft dough. Bring the dough together with your hands. Add a little extra water, if necessary, to make sure all ingredients are incorporated.
3.Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Push the dough with the heel of your hand, and give it a quarter turn each time. Place the dough in a lightly oiled large bowl; cover. Stand in a warm place about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4.“Punch” the dough down with your fist, then knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Halve the dough and roll out two round bases.
5.Combine prawns, chilli, garlic and oil in bowl.
6.Blend or process paste, tomato and whole basil leaves until chopped finely.
7.Place two pizza bases on heated trays; spread each with a quarter of the tomato mixture. Bake 6 minutes or until beginning to crisp. Top each with a quarter of the prawn mixture; bake about 6 minutes or until bases are crisp and prawns are cooked; sprinkle each with a quarter of the torn basil. Repeat with remaining pizza bases.
