The concept of pizza originates from Italy and is believed to come from Naples. Central or southern Italy is believed to have created the name pizza. Similar bread based recipes with different toppings have also been found in Persia and Greece.
You can make your pizza dough yourself but we use pre-prepared dough found in the chill cabinet to make this a quick and easy evening meal. This tasty pizza is made without tomato sauce, the secret is to have a mixture of cheeses and put half the cheese directly on to the dough then the topping and finish with a second layer of cheese. This stops the dough from becoming to dry.
To make the pizza prepare the dough, sprinkle half the mozzarella and manchego cheese and the oregano on to the dough, place the thinly sliced sweet potatoes onto the pizza, then the chorizo slices and then the sliced red onions sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, Bake in the oven till the cheese has melted and the sweet potato is cooked.
The combination of sweet potato and chorizo makes this a delicious DIY pizza, the star of this recipe is the manchego cheese which gives this pizza a delicious taste
