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.
