Method

Stir to form a soft dough the turn onto a floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes. Place in a lightly greased bowl. Allow the dough to prove on the Bread Proving setting 1 for 40 minutes or until doubled in size.
Preheat oven on CircoTherm at 200°C.
Punch the dough down and knead lightly until elastic, roll into a sausage shape and cut into 16 even pieces. Use your hands to shape the dough pieces into 16 x 10 cm round pizza bases then place onto 2 greased trays, allowing room for spreading.
Spread the bases evenly with the combined passata and spice. Top each with red onion a prawn and pieces of cheese. Spray with oil and sprinkle with extra spice.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and the cheese has melted. Meanwhile combine in a bowl the olive oil, herbs, olives, capers, vinegar, garlic and seasonings to make the Salsa Verde. Spoon a little salsa over each of the pizzetas and serve immediately.
