Method:

Oven temperature: 220°C
1. Prepare the dough: Mix the
flour, yeast, salt and black
pepper in a mixing bowl. Make
a well in the middle and add the
lukewarm water and olive oil. Mix
thoroughly with your hands to
form a dough, the sides of the
mixing bowl must be clean. Add
more water, if necessary. Place
the dough on a flour-dusted
surface and knead for about
10 minutes or until smooth and
elastic. (A mixer with a dough
hook will make this task easier.)

2. Allow the dough to rise in a
warm place until it has doubled
in volume. Knock down the
dough and divide into three. Roll
each dough ball out thinly (to
approximately the thickness of a
pancake) and place on greased
baking trays. Cover the dough
circles with greased clingfilm
and leave to rise in a warm place
for 15 minutes.

3. Press the soft garlic out of the
bulb and mix it with olive oil to
form a thick paste. Season with
salt and freshly ground black
pepper and spread a layer over
the pizza bases.

4. Divide the broccoli between
the bases and sprinkle the
fennel seeds, chilli, lemon zest
and pine nuts over the bases.
Place the mozzarella slices on
top, season with salt and freshly
ground black pepper and bake
the pizzas until crisp, golden
brown and done. Drizzle with
extra olive oil as soon as the
pizzas are removed from the
oven and serve hot.

Makes: three 23cm pizzas
