Hands-on time 10 min, cooking time 30-35 min
Ingredients
- 3 thickly sliced mixed sweet peppers
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Flour, for dusting
- 2 x 220g defrosted pizza dough balls (we like Northern Dough Co, from Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Ocado, Booths and Wholefoods), or see our basic pizza dough recipe
- 250g ricotta
- 12 anchovy fillets
- 2-3 tbsp capers
- 25g parmesan
- Fresh basil, to serve
Method
- Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Toss the peppers in a roasting tin with 1 tbsp olive oil and roast for 20 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 240°C/220°C/gas 9. Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the defrosted pizza dough balls into a rectangle about 0.5cm thick. Transfer each to a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper.
- Divide the roasted pepper slices between the bases, spoon over the ricotta and top with the anchovy fillets and capers. Grate over the parmesan, then bake the pizzas for 10-14 minutes, turning them round in the oven halfway through, until golden and crisp. Drizzle with a little light olive oil and scatter with fresh basil to serve.
