Instructions

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4

1 Preheat oven to 220°C. Sprinkle the capsicums with cooking oil spray, place in a roasting pan and bake for 20 minutes, until lightly blackened. Transfer to a bowl, cover with cling film and allow to cool. Peel, de-seed, then cut into strips.
2 Sauté the onions, garlic and thyme I half the olive oil for 10 minutes, until softened, then season with salt and pepper.
3 Divide the dough (find my recipe here) into four pieces, then roll each out to a 25cm disc. Spread with pizza sauce, then top with chicken, onions, capsicums and gouda. Bake on a hot stone for 8-10 minutes, until crisp. Top with the parsley and almonds.
