Makes 12

Ingredients:

• 145g packet of pizza mix
• Tomato puree
• Oregano
• Grated cheese
• Pepperoni stick, thinly sliced
• Salt and pepper
• 1 egg, beaten for glazing

Method:

1. Make up the pizza dough according to the packet instructions, but do not cook yet.
2. On a floured surface, knead the dough for 5mins, or until smooth and elastic.  Transfer to a clean bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place to rise for approx 10mins or doubled in size.
3. Preheat the oven to 220ºC/Gas 7 and line a tray with baking paper.
4. Divide the dough into 12 equal sized pieces and flatten each one.  Place a small dollop of tomato puree in the middle of each flattened ball, and spread.  Sprinkle each with a little oregano, salt and pepper. Add a pinch of cheese and a couple of slices of pepperoni on top.
5. Bring the dough up around the filling to encase the filling, pinching the sides and shaping into a ball.
6. Place each ball on the baking tray and brush the beaten egg over each.  Place in the oven and bake for around 12-15mins until golden and risen.  Serve immediately.
