Cuisine Italian
Servings 12 dough balls

Ingredients
  

  • 145 g pizza mix
  • tomato puree
  • oregano
  • grated cheese
  • pepperoni stick, thinly sliced
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten for glazing

Instructions
 

  • Make up the pizza dough according to the packet instructions, but do not cook yet.
  • On a floured surface, knead the dough for 5mins, or until smooth and elastic.  Transfer to a clean bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place to rise for approx 10mins or doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 220ºC/Gas 7 and line a tray with baking paper.
  • Divide the dough into 12 equal sized pieces and flatten each one.  In the middle of each flattened ball, add a dollop of tomato puree and spread.  Sprinkle each with a little oregano, salt and pepper. Add a pinch of cheese and a couple of slices of pepperoni on top.
  • Bring the dough up around the filling to encase the filling, pinching the sides and shaping into a ball.
  • Place each ball on the baking tray and brush the beaten egg over each.  Place in the oven and bake for around 12-15mins until golden and risen.  Serve immediately.
