Method
- To make the pizza base: Mix the flour, sugar, salt, yeast and egg replacer in the bowl of an electric mixer/food processor fitted with a dough hook, or use a large bowl.
- Measure the milk into a jug and add 175ml (6fl oz) hot water (unless you are using eggs, then only add 2tbsp hot water and beat in the eggs), the cider vinegar and oil.
- Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix really well to make a soft, slightly sticky dough.
- To make the pizza: Spoon the other half of the dough on to the baking sheet and spread to around about 25cm (10in) in diameter. Leave, uncovered, in a warm place to rise; allow about 30 mins.
- Meanwhile, make the topping: Cook the onion in the oil in a frying pan for about 5 mins until softened.
- Add the garlic and chilli, if using, then cook for another minute before stirring in the tomatoes, ketchup and seasoning. Simmer and let it thicken for 10-15 mins.
- Leave in the pan to cool while the pizza base rises.
- Set the oven to 220°C (425°F, gas mark 7).
- Spread the tomato topping over the base to within about 1cm (½ in) of the edge. Arrange halved artichoke hearts on top with strips of Parma ham, sprinkle with cheese, thyme leaves and olives, if using, and drizzle with the oil from the artichokes - about 1tbsp. Season well.
- Bake for 10 mins near the bottom of the oven then turn the oven down to 200°C (400°F, gas mark 6) and cook for another 20 mins until really crisp on the bottom. Serve warm with salad.
