Directions
FOR THE BASE
FOR THE TOPPING
1. Mix the flour with the baking powder, salt and sesame seeds.
2. Beat the egg with the milk and olive oil and pour over the flour. Work to a soft dough adding more flour if necessary. Roll out into a circle or press into a Swiss roll tray. Bake at 200øC/400øF/gas mark 6 for 10 minutes.
3. For the topping, heat the oil and gently fry the onion and garlic for 10 minutes until soft. Add the pepper and mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Add the herbs to the pan and both types of tomatoes. Leave the mixture to simmer until the liquid has reduced and the sauce has a moist, rather than sloppy consistency. Season to taste.
5. Spread the topping over the base, cover with cheese and sesame seeds and grill until the cheese has melted.

NOTES : simple scone mixture with a nutty sesame flavour makes a good base for this tasty pizza. It is best served hot, but can be served cold as part of a picnic lunch.
