Spicy Shrimp and Garlic Pizza

Instructions

• 1To make the dough, place the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, mix to combine. Add the oil and water, mix on medium-low speed for 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. (Alternatively, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the oil and water and mix until the dough comes together, add an extra tablespoon of water if necessary. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured countertop and knead for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.)
• 2Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.
• 3Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured countertop and punch down to remove the excess air. Knead the dough into a smooth ball. Divide into three, 8¾ oz pieces.
• 4To make the pizza sauce, place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until well combined. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
• 5To make the topping, place 3 tablespoons (1½ fl oz) of the olive oil, garlic, pepper flakes, parsley and shrimp in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir until the shrimp are well coated. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to assemble the pizza.
• 6To make the pizza, turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position and PREHEAT the pizza oven for 15 minutes.
• 7Roll out each piece of pizza dough to form a 9-inch round and place each on a 11-inch square piece of parchment paper.
• 8Prick the crusts with a fork or pizza docker.
• 9Spread 1 teaspoon of the remaining oil over each pizza crust. Spread 3 tablespoons of pizza sauce over each crust.
• 10Divide the toppings evenly among the crusts.
• 11Select the CLASSIC crust setting.
• 12Transfer one of the pizzas (still on the parchment paper) to the hot pizza stone and close the lid. Cook for 2 minutes.
• 13Open the lid and quickly slide the parchment paper out carefully. Close the lid and cook for a further 5-6 minutes, or until browned. Monitor the cooking progress through the viewing window. Topping should be cooked and golden and crust crisp and brown.
• 14Open the lid carefully with oven mitt and transfer the pizza to a cutting board.
• 15Repeat with the remaining pizzas.
• 16Drizzle with extra olive oil, season with salt and pepper and garnish with extra chopped parsley and basil leaves. Slice and serve with lemon wedges.
