METHOD
- Preheat oven to 250°C. Grease a baking tray and lightly dust with semolina.
- For the quick pizza dough, place semolina, flour, yogurt, ricotta, and 1 tsp salt flakes in a food processor and whiz until a ball forms. Transfer to a work surface dusted with semolina and roll out to form a 30cm-long oval. Transfer to prepared tray, brush with oil and prick all over with a fork. Bake for 8 minutes or until golden.
- Meanwhile, place cauliflower, capsicum, pine nuts, spices, and oil in a food processor and whiz until finely chopped.
- Combine tomato passata and barbecue sauce in a bowl.
- Spread passata mixture over pizza base to edges. Scatter with half the mozzarella, then top evenly with cauliflower mixture, onion, tomatoes, and remaining mozzarella. Sprinkle with dried mint and chili flakes, and bake for 12 minutes or until the mozzarella is golden. Drizzle with extra oil and serve with extra chili flakes on the side.
