When we were in Cape Town last Spring one of my favourite things was to go to the Red Herring in Noordhoek and have their amazing chicken, bacon, banana, and avo pizza with lots of hot sauce on top. We have started making them here to bring back good memories! We make really thin bases out of Dan's Naan bread recipe and then cook them at max temperature in the oven (the closest we can get to a wood fired pizza oven!). Here is the recipe:
Bases
1 t yeast
3 cups flour
2 T oil
4 T yoghurt
1 t honey
1 t salt
3/4 cup warm water
2 T oil
4 T yoghurt
1 t honey
1 t salt
3/4 cup warm water
In a mixing bowl combine all ingredients, starting with flour and salt, then add oil, yoghurt and honey, lastly add yeast and warm water. Mix together and then knead into a dough on a floured bread board or bench. Leave for 15 mins to rise before rolling out.
Toppings
Tomato paste
Chilli paste
A little bit of cheese
Cooked chicken strips (sometimes we cook these in cajun seasoning first)
Cooked bacon pieces
Sliced tomato
Chopped banana
Cheese on top
Cook in oven at highest temp for about 5 mins, or until golden and ready looking, slice avocado on top of pizza and add hot sauce!
