Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220C, 425F, gas mark 7. Place a large oven tray in while the oven heats up.
2. FOR THE BASE:
3. In a mixing bowl, add the flour, salt & pepper, ground and stir together.
4. Add 3 tablespoons of Lucy Bee Coconut Oil along with the water and whisk until combined and there are no lumps. Leave to one side.
5. Carefully take out the warmed oven tray and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of Lucy Bee Coconut oil, which will melt. Toss the onion in this and bake for 10-12 minutes until the onions are soft and slightly brown.
6. Add the onions to the batter mix along with the rosemary. Pour this mixture into the oven tray and place back in the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, until the base is cooked.
7. FOR THE TOMATO SAUCE:
8. While this is cooking, making the tomato sauce. NOTE: this recipe only uses half of the tomato sauce so keep the other half to use with pasta the next day.
9. In a food processor, add the tomatoes, 3 peppadew peppers, salt & pepper, ground, extra-virgin olive oil, chili flakes and basil. Blitz.
10. When the pizza base is ready, take it out of the oven and spoon half of the tomato sauce over (retaining the rest in an airtight container, in the fridge) and sprinkle over with the goat’s cheese, olives and the remaining peppadew peppers. Place back in the oven for a couple of minutes - just to heat the tomato sauce and slightly melt the goat’s cheese.
11. Serve with rocket – either on the side or on top of the pizza.
12. Note:This is a traditional Sardinian pancake normally eaten with no toppings at all.
