Sweet

Cheesus

If you’ve never baked fresh pizza at home, this sweet chilli prawn recipe is a great place to start. As delicious as any pizzeria, once you’ve tried this, you’ll be pushing the takeway menu straight back in the drawer and getting stuck into homemade pizza yourself.

What you’ll need…

1x ball of Northern Dough Co original or wholemeal pizza dough
Semolina flour (optional, for dusting, helps to create extra crunch!) or plain flour
2 tablespoons tomato passata
1-2 tablespoons grated mozzarella
100g pack of king prawns
1 tablespoon sweet chili jam/ sauce (we used Bay Tree)
Large handful fresh spinach leaves, wilted and drained (place in a colander, pour over boiling water, leave to cool and squeeze the excess water)
1 spring onion, finely chopped
½ small red chilli, finely chopped
Chopped fresh coriander, to taste

Don’t forget

Always flour your surface so you can easily roll out your dough
Move the dough to your pizza stone/baking tray before you top your dough
It’s good to be greedy, but make sure you don’t go over the top with your toppings, it’ll make your pizza soggy

Sweet Chilli Jam & King Prawn pizza with fresh coriander

Pre-heat your oven to its hottest setting, and lightly flour your worksurface, rolling pin (if using) and baking tray. Roll or stretch your dough to approx. 10-12 inches in diameter (this will give you a classic Neapolitan style thin and crispy pizza). Fry the leeks in the butter for a few mins, until softened and leave to one side for a minute.

Move your pizza base to the lightly floured baking tray, spread evenly with passata, then sprinkle with mozzarella and rest of the ingredients (dot the sweet chilli over the base in splodges) other than the coriander. Move to the hot oven for 8-10 mins, checking regularly towards the end of the cooking time. Your pizza will be cooked when the crust has turned golden brown and the toppings are bubbling. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 3-5 mins. As well as preventing burnt mouths, this also helps the pizza topping to ‘set’ and means your toppings won’t slide when you slice into it! Slice, share (or not!) and enjoy!
