Method
-
1
Preheat your oven to 230°C/210°C fan and put a baking tray in the oven to get hot.
-
2
In a large mixing bowl, mix all dough ingredients together using your hands. Once combined, knead until smooth and no longer sticky. It should be quite sticky at first but the more you work it together, the less sticky it will become and should turn into a smooth ball of dough.

3
Leave covered for around 30 minutes, or up to a few hours if you are not ready to cook your pizza yet.
-
4
Roll out your dough on floured greaseproof paper. Spread the tomato pizza topping over the dough and cover with your mozzarella slices, Romano red pepper, chorizo and green chilli, spacing all the ingredients out over the pizza. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella over.
