Method
Chilli seafood pizza
- 1Make dough. Combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre. Stir in oil and enough of the water to mix to a soft dough. Knead dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a large oiled bowl, cover and stand in a warm place for 1 hour or until dough doubles in size. Turn onto a floured surface and knead dough until smooth.
- 2Meanwhile, place prawns and octopus in a large bowl. Combine chilli, garlic, rind and oil in a bowl. Season to taste. Place half the chilli mixture in a small bowl, cover and refrigerate. Add remaining chilli mixture to prawns and octopus. Toss to coat in mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- 3Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan. Lightly oil a large oven tray.
- 4Roll out dough into a 26cm x 32cm oval. Bake for 15 minutes or until partially cooked. Spread with tomato sauce. Top with seafood mixture and tomatoes. Bake pizza for a further 15 minutes or until base is crisp and seafood is just cooked. Drizzle with reserved chilli mixture.
- 5Place rocket and lemon juice in a small bowl. Toss gently to coat. Season to taste.
- 6Top pizza with rocket mixture and serve.
