Preparation

  1. Heat the oven to 200C (fan 180C) 400F/gas 6. To make the base, put the flour, baking powder, salt and dried herbs into a large bowl. Whisk the oil, egg and milk together in a jug, then pour into the bowl and with a rubber spatula, fold together until a soft dough forms.

  3. Take out of the oven and spread over the topping sauce of choice, scatter the sweet corn and diced pepper then add the halved tomatoes. Season the topping
  4. Cut or tear the mozzarrella into small pieces and add to the pizza. Return to the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes.
  5. Serve with a green salad.
