A lovely home-made garlic and herb pizza base with added seeds and grain (using Clover Seedburst spread), which is topped with spicy chorizo sausage, goat's cheese, red onions and Parmesan cheese. This recipe makes one large pizza, enough for 4 people, or two smaller pizzas to serve 2 people each. Perfect for the weekend or as a mid-week treat, and is lovely when served with a side salad.

A lovely home-made garlic and herb pizza base with added seeds and grain (using Clover Seedburst spread), which is topped with spicy chorizo sausage, goat's cheese, red onions and Parmesan cheese.

Directions
| Step 1 | Mix the flour, salt, sugar, garlic granules, dried mixed herbs, oil, melted Clover Seedburst spread and yeast in a food processor fitted with a dough blade. Pour in the water and mix to a soft dough, then knead on low for 10 minutes. Remove the dough and roll out on a lightly floured surface (I use polenta or cornmeal in place of flour) to a round of about 30cm across. Lift on to an oiled baking sheet, sprinkle with the sun-dried tomato oil and allow to rise for 20 to 30 minutes. |
| Step 2 | Heat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6. |
| Step 3 | Mix the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and tomato purée together and spread over the pizza. The arrange the sliced red onion, chorizo, goat's cheese and the capers (if using) over the top before scattering the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Season with salt and pepper, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until crisp and golden around the edges. |
| Step 4 | Scatter with the fresh oregano leaves to serve. |
