Directions:

  1. For the pizza base, mix the flour, flaxseed, yeast, baking powder, sugar and salt into an outsized bowl.

  2. Add warm water, oil and vinegar and, employing a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, beat well for 1–2 minutes. The mixture won't appear as regular pizza dough but more like mushy at this stage. Cover the bowl with cling film or a clean dish towel and leave in a dry place for 1 hour, or until it is doubled in size.

  3. Preheat the oven to 220–230 degrees. Place a baking tray on the highest shelf of the oven to heat up.

  4. Prick one pizza base a couple of times with a fork. Using the baking paper, slide the bottom carefully onto the recent baking tray. Cook for 9–10 minutes, or until beginning to turn golden at the sides . Remove from the oven and cook the second base within the same way, ensuring the tray is hot before sliding on the second base.

  5. Reduce the oven temperature to 200C/180 degrees.

  6. In a small bowl, mix together the tomato purée with salt and pepper.

  7. Spread the tomato mixture over the pizza bases. Sprinkle over the mozzarella cheese or paneer, olives and jalapeños and arrange the pepperoni and strips of roasted red pepper on top.

  8. Season with black pepper and a pinch of dried oregano and cook each for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown.

  9. Garnish with basil or cilantro and serve immediately.
