Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 25 minutes, plus 1 hour’s proving time

Cooking Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

2 dough balls, stretched
400 g free-range mini chicken breasts
60 g cheese mix (75% mozzarella to 25% Emmenthal)
¼ pineapple, thinly sliced
3 spring onions, chopped, for serving
5 g fresh coriander, chopped, for serving
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Woolworths chilli oil, for drizzling

For the tomato base mix:

1 x 400 g can Italian tomatoes, blended
olive oil, to taste
2 cloves garlic, grated
salt, to taste

For the buffalo hot sauce:

2⁄3 cup Nandos extra-hot sauce
110 g butter, melted
½ t Worcester sauce
1 t white wine vinegar

Method

1. Prepare the pizza base, then arrange in a 28 x 22 cm deep, fireproof oven tray pushing up the edges slightly to create a crust. Cover with a clean tea towel and set aside for 1 hour.

2. To make the hot sauce, whisk together all the ingredients over a medium heat until slightly thickened and incorporated.

3. Fry the chicken until cooked through, then toss in the hot sauce to coat. Just before baking the pizza, spread the tomato sauce over the base in a thin, even layer. Sprinkle over the garlic, dot with the cheese mix and top with the chicken and pineapple. Bake in a hot pizza oven for 5 minutes, or until the topping is bubbling, the crust is puffy and has a slight char. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 220–250°C for 10–15 minutes.

4. Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and cut into even slices using a pizza wheel while still hot. Sprinkle over the spring onion and coriander, season and drizzle liberally with Woolworths chilli oil or more hot sauce.

Cook's note: When making tray-bake pizzas, it’s important to line the tray with the pizza dough, nudging it into the edges of the tray to create a crust to encase the toppings. Leave it to settle and prove for at least an hour for a perfect airy chewy crust, before topping and baking immediately.
