Method

step 1

Mix the dough ingredients together with 150-200ml warm water and the salt until you have a soft dough. Knead briefly, then leave for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
step 2

Roll the sausagemeat into small balls. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan and cook the sausagemeat balls in batches until lightly golden. Transfer to a plate and add the garlic, chilli and fennel seeds to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Tip the garlic, chilli and fennel seeds into a bowl along with the ricotta and stir together with a little seasoning.
step 3

Heat the oven to 240C/fan 220C/gas 9. Dust a surface with a little flour and thinly roll out the dough to make 2 pizzas, then transfer to baking trays or pizza stones. Spread the bases with the ricotta mixture, then scatter over the broccoli and meatballs, followed by the mozzarella and parmesan. Scatter with a pinch more chilli flakes and fennel seeds, plus some extra seasoning, then drizzle with a little more olive oil. Bake the pizzas for about 15 minutes until the base is crisp and golden and the topping is bubbling.
