Method:
- In a bowl, mix the bread mix with 260 ml (9¼ fl oz) warm water and knead for 5 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a clean bowl, cover and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the tomatoes for 5 minutes until thickened, then cool.
- Steam the cavolo nero for 5 minutes, then cool.
- While the dough is proving, grease 2 large baking trays. Then, when ready, knock back the dough and roll into 2 x 30 cm (12 in) circles. Place on the prepared baking trays and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 200 deg. C., 400 deg. F., Gas Mark 6.
- Spread the pizza bases with the tomato mixture. Top with the cavolo nero, tuna and olives. Crack 2 eggs on to each pizza and sprinkle with cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden. Swap the trays over halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Bellissimo!
