Ingredients 

For the base 

125g/4½oz self-raising brown or self-raising wholemeal flour, plus extra for dusting 

pinch fine sea salt 

125g/4½oz full-fat plain yoghurt 

For the topping 

1 yellow or orange pepper, seeds removed and thinly sliced 

1 courgette, cut into 1cm/½in slices 

1 red onion, cut into thin wedges 

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling 

½ tsp dried chilli flakes 

50g/1¾oz ready-grated mozzarella or cheddar, goats’ cheese, broken into small chunks, or 1 mozzarella ball, sliced or roughly torn 

freshly ground black pepper 

fresh basil leaves, to serve (optional) 

For the tomato sauce 

6 tbsp passata sauce (approximately 100g/3½oz) 

1 tsp dried oregano 

Method 

Begin by preheating the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. With the BSA66346PDBGUK’s Fast Preheat feature you can preheat to 200C in just 5 minutes. Super handy for when you’re raring to get started on that pizza quickly. 

To prepare the quality toppings, put the pepper, courgette, red onion and oil in a bowl, season with lots of black pepper and mix together. Then distribute the vegetables over a large baking tray and roast for 15 minutes so they become nice and toasted. Its pure excellence!  

Whilst they cook away, you can get started on the pizza base. Start off by mixing the flour and salt in a large bowl. Then just add the yoghurt and 1 tablespoon of cold water and mix with a spoon. Soon you’ll be able to use your hands to form a soft, spongy dough. Once this has been achieved you can transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 1 minute. This recipe even has an added arm workout too, we’re too kind to you. 

Use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough into a roughly oval shape, approximately 3mm/⅛in thick. (But don’t worry if the shape is uneven, it just needs to fit onto the same baking tray used for the vegetables.) 

Speaking of the roasted vegetables, transfer them to a bowl and place the pizza dough onto the baking tray, baking for 5 minutes. After that. take the tray out of the oven to turn the dough over. If people in the family prefer to have their own variations of pizza, you can still cook them all using the 5 cooking zones simultaneously, so you can all still eat them together.  

Now time for the tomato sauce. Combine the passata with the oregano and spread over the dough. Then you can grab those delicious veges and top off the pizza. Don’t forget to sprinkle with the chilli flakes and then the cheese after. 

Bake the pizza for a further 8–10 minutes, or until the dough is thoroughly cooked through and the cheese is turning golden brown. The BSA66346PDBGUK comes with 22 quality automatic programmes, one being Pizza Mode. Now is the perfect time to enable that since it can reach temperatures of 300c making the cooking time super-fast and convenient.  

Whilst the pizza cooks away you can also manage it remotely since the BSA66346PDBGUK comes WIFI-enabled, meaning you can use the ConnectLife app to check the progress of cooking wherever in the house you are.  

To finish off just season to taste and crown with a drizzle of olive oil!
