This is a classic American pizza based on an American-style barbecue sauce rather than a typical tomato-based sauce. It goes well with beer and makes an excellent accompaniment to a summer barbecue.

Method:

Turn the dough onto a lightly-floured work surface and roll into a 25cm diameter circle. Transfer to a greased baking tray then using your thumb and forefinger roll the edges of the pastry to form a rim. Cover and place in a warm spot to raise for 10 minutes.

Add a little oil to a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium heat. Add the beef and brown gently for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour off any excess fat then stir-in the barbecue sauce, sweetcorn, spring onions and salt. Allow to come to a simmer then take off the heat and allow to cool.

Top the risen pizza base with the beef mixture, spreading it evenly almost to the edge. Sprinkle the cheese over the top then place in an oven pre-heated to 220°C and bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges of the base are golden and crisp. Cut into 8 wedges and serve.
