Method

  • 1.
    Whisk yeast, sugar and water in a large jug and set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 10-15 minutes, until yeast activates and mixture is frothy.
  • 2.
    Place flour in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. With motor running on medium speed, add 1/2 tsp fine salt and mix until well combined. Pour in yeast mixture and oil, and mix until well combined and a dough ball starts to form. Increase speed to medium-high and knead for 8-10 minutes or until very smooth and elastic. Cover bowl tightly with doubled pieces of lightly greased plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 1 hour or until dough doubles in size.
  • 3.
    Gently scrape dough from bowl and divide into 3 equal-sized balls. Roll each ball out to a 30cm round before stacking individually between sheets of lightly floured baking paper on a large plate. Cover plate well with plastic wrap and chill overnight.
  • 4.
    Meanwhile for the garlic prawns, combine all ingredients in a large bowl, cover and chill overnight to marinate. For the chilli oil, heat all ingredients in a small saucepan over low heat for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • 5.
    When ready to serve, preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced and place a baking tray in the oven to preheat. Season prawns with salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Spread pizza bases with sugo or passata.
  • 6.
    Bake pizza bases, one at a time, for 4-5 minutes. Top bases with mozzarella and prawns, then bake for 3-4 minutes until prawns are cooked. Sprinkle pizzas with basil leaves, if using, and serve with chilli oil and lemon wedges alongside.

Recipe Notes

Begin this recipe the night before by preparing the pizza bases from scratch. You'll need time to go through the first rise process before refrigerating the dough overnight. You’ll also need to marinate the prawns overnight. Buy raw prawn cutlets to save time on shelling and deveining, and remove the tails.
