Submitted by: Regal Salmon

- 200gram portion Wood Roasted Salmon
- 10g dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon caster sugar
- 250mls lukewarm water
- 300g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ red onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 2-3 rashers pancetta or streaky bacon
- 2-3 tablespoons dried or fresh oregano, finely chopped
- 400g can chopped tomatoes in puree
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ½ red onion, cut into quarters
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained and finely chopped
- a small bunch fennel fronds, fresh or dried
- 50g anchovies, roughly chopped (optional)
- 50g mozzarella, grated
- In a bowl mix the yeast, sugar and water. Set aside in a warm place for 5 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface. Place the flour, salt and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the yeast mixture and mix together with well-floured hands to form a dough. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 3-4 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down, and then place the dough on a floured board. Cut into two. Roll out to 20cm diameter circle using fingers to shape into a pizza tin or on a baking tray.
- Meanwhile, in a pot or frying pan heat a little olive oil and cook the onion for 10 minutes until softened. Add the garlic, pancetta or bacon, oregano and tomato. Add sugar and season to taste. Cook for 10-20 minutes on medium-low heat. Allow to cool slightly before using.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C. To assemble the pizza, brush the top of the base with a little olive oil. Spread the tomato sauce over the base using the back of a spoon. Arrange the topping flavours over the top finishing with a light scattering of mozzarella.
- Bake the pizza in the oven for 15-20 minutes until sides are crispy golden and cheese well melted. Serve with extra parmesan cheese.
