wholemeal pizza - chicken and chorizo


Pizza base
Use a bread maker if you wish ( I did, it takes 90 mins)
200mls cold water
2 and 1/2 cups of flour - I used wholemeal
2 tablespoons of oil ( your choice of oil)
Salt (I leave it out)
1 and 3/4 teaspoons of dry yeast

mix, knead, rise, knead, roll out

toppings
2 large red onions, cut(long ways), softened and caramelised in hot pan, use a little oil, deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine (if you like) - set aside
1/2 chicken breast skinless, cut into small strips, marinate in a combo of 2/3 sweet chilli sauce/jam and 1/3 soy sauce (about a cup full in total)for 30 minutes
then toss chicken in pan until the sauce has caramelised (it goes kind of sticky) - set aside
chorizo sausage, about 4 inches long - slice very thinly
sweet corn, cooked and cut off the cob - 2 cobs is plenty
125gms grated edam cheese (less fat) -this binds the toppings together nicely

smear onto pizza base - 
tomato paste or puree - about 3 tablespoons
crushed garlic - about 3 teaspoons  
sprinkle corn
sprinkle 3/4 of the grated cheese
spread onions over
place chicken and chorizo pieces evenly (I left chorizo off my 1/4 of the pizza)
top with final sprinkle of grated cheese

cook in 180C oven for about 30 minutes or until top is lightly browned
serve with salad

yum
