    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 To make dough, combine flour, sugar, yeast, salt and oil in a bowl. Stir in warm water and knead on a floured board until smooth and springy when lightly pressed.

    2 Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on low for 1 minute and allow to rest for 10 minutes, then repeat. Or leave bowl in a warm place for about 45 minutes until dough doubles in size.

    3 Meanwhile, make the filling. Cook bacon, onion and garlic in a pan. Add tomatoes, sugar and herbs. Simmer until thick. Remove from heat and cool.

    4 Roll dough into a large rectangle and cut into 24 squares. Place a spoonful of tomato mixture and a cheese cube in the centre of each square. Join opposite ends to enclose filling. Twist dough to secure. Place dough ball with twisted side under on a greased baking tray.

    5 Brush or spray pizza poppers with oil and sprinkle with extra Italian herbs. Leave to rest for 15-20 minutes until roundish and plump.

    6 Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 15 minutes, or until pizzas are light brown. Serve warm or cold.

    HFG tip

    You can easily double the mixture and freeze half for later.
