Spanish Style Pizzas

I have been away in Dorset for a few days and whilst we were there we made these delicious Spanish style Pizzas. They are very easy to make as you just use a ready made bread mix and they don't need much time to rise either, which is always useful. These were spanish style as I used Manchego cheese and italian meats on them but you could use any toppings that you liked- thats the good thing about pizzas!



Recipe: (makes 4 pizzas)

- 500g bag of ciabatta bread mix
- Jar of good quality pasta sauce
- Cubes of Manchego cheese
- Stuffed Olives
- Selection of Spanish ham- Chorizo, Palma ham, Salami etc
- Seasoning 
- Fresh herbs for sprinkling on top (I used basil)

How to make:

- Make the ciabatta dough by following the instructions on the back of the bag. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Then separate the dough in to 4 balls and roll out with a rolling pin to about 5mm thick. 

- Place the rolled out pizza bases on to 2 oiled baking sheets and lightly cover with cling film. Allow them to rise in a warm place from 15- to an hour (whichever you have more time for!)

- Once they have been allowed to rise then cover them with the pasta sauce for the base, and then add the Manchego cheese, olives, ham and the seasoning. 

- Bake in the oven at 200c for about 15 minutes- but keep an eye on them to make sure they don't burn.

- Then enjoy hot from the oven! Yummy!
