    Ingredients

    15g butter

    15g flour

    175ml milk

    1/2 level tsp garlic powder

    50g Parmesan, grated

    290g pack Chosen by you great to bake Pizza Mix

    Flour, for dusting

    Oil, for greasing

    2 courgettes, sliced lengthways, 3mm thick

    2 red peppers (or yellow peppers), de-seeded and cut into 6

    100g Parmesan, shaved with a vegetable peeler

    2 x 125g balls mozzarella, drained and torn

    2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted

    2 handfuls rocket, to serve

    Method

    1
    To make the bianco sauce, melt the butter in a small pan and stir in the flour. Cook over a medium heat, stirring, for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk, then simmer for 3 minutes.
    2
    Add the garlic powder and Parmesan and stir until smooth. Cover and set aside until ready to use.
    3
    For the base, empty the pizza mix into a bowl and add 200ml warm water. With a fork, mix into a ball of dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes. Shape into 2 balls. Roll out each ball to a circle 20cm across.
    4
    Place each base on a lightly greased and floured baking tray. Cover with oiled cling film and leave in a warm place for 10 minutes, to rise (leave 1-2 minutes longer for a thicker crust, or 1-2 minutes less for crispier).
    5
    Barbecue or griddle the courgettes and peppers for 1 minute on each side, until charred. Leave to cool.
    6
    Thinly spread the pizza bases with the bianco sauce, then sprinkle on the shaved Parmesan. Top with the vegetables and the mozzarella.
    7
    Slide the pizzas on the barbecue grill, put the lid on and cook for 7-8 minutes, until the bases are golden and the cheese has melted. Or cook in a pre-heated oven at 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7 for 20 minutes.
    8
    Top with rocket and pine nuts (if using), then serve.
