Ricotta and Basil Pizza Bread

Ingredients

• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 yellow peppers, seeded and roughly chopped
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 2 × 400g cans chopped tomatoes
• 500g bag mixed grain or granary bread mix
• 10 cherry tomatoes, halved or whole
• 250g tub ricotta

Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan or gas mark 7). Heat the olive oil in a large pan and cook the chopped onion and yellow peppers for a few minutes until soft. Stir in the canned chopped tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and simmer the mixture for 10 minutes.
2. 2Prepare the mixed grain bread mix following the package directions. Gather the resulting dough and knead it briefly a few times.
3. 3Dust a large baking sheet with flour. Roll the dough into a rectangle measuring about 25cm by 35cm, place it on the sheet, and bake on the top oven shelf for 5 minutes until it feels firm.
4. 4Take the crust out of the oven and spread the simmered tomato sauce evenly over the top. Arrange the cherry tomatoes over the sauce and drop spoonfuls of ricotta across the surface. Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes until the crust turns crisp and golden.
5. 5Slice the pizza bread and serve it immediately.
