Halloumi pizzettes with caper and chilli dressing
These mini-pizzas are seriously moreish. For an even quicker meal, serve fried slices of halloumi with the dressing spooned over with some warm pitta breads.
Use mango chutney for sweet tang, melted halloumi for chewy saltiness, charred courgettes for bitter freshness and tarragon for a herbal hit of anise
Nutrition: per pizzette
Whisk together 220ml of warm water, the sugar, onion powder and oil in a small jug. Separately, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together both flours, 1½ tsp of salt and the nigella seeds.
Tip half of the dry mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, then whisk through the yeast. Begin mixing at a slow speed. Gradually trickle in the liquid – scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed – until fully incorporated. You should have a very loose, slack dough at this point.
Keep the mixer running slowly and add the remaining flour, a third at a time, until you have a tacky dough ball that comes away from the sides of the bowl. Turn out onto a floured worksurface and knead for 10-12 mins or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Form into a ball, put in a bowl, brush with oil, cover and leave to prove for 1 hr. Punch down the dough, knead in the bowl for 1 min, then cover and leave for another hour.
Meanwhile, brush the courgette slices with a little oil. Heat a griddle or frying pan over a medium-high heat and sear on one side for 4-5 mins or until they brown. Punch down the rested dough again, knead for 1 min, then divide and roll into six large balls. Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
Brush two baking sheets liberally with olive oil. Using your fingers and knuckles, form each ball into a 15cm circle and put three on each sheet, spaced apart. Spread each pizzette with 1 tbsp each of tomato purée and chutney, then sprinkle with the halloumi and tarragon.
Bake one sheet at a time for 18-20 mins – or if you want to bake all the pizzette at once, swap the trays halfway through the cooking time – until puffed and golden on top. Enjoy hot or cold with extra mango chutney, if you like.
