Ingredients

For the dough

350 g
strong white bread flour, plus extra to dust
5 g
fast-action dried yeast
1 tsp.
caster sugar
2 Tbsp.
extra virgin olive oil, plus extra to grease

For the topping

150 g
crème fraîche
50 g
parmesan, finely grated
125 g
cooked turkey, shredded
125 g
Stilton, crumbled
50 g
walnuts, chopped
4 Tbsp.
cranberry sauce
handful parsley, roughly chopped

Directions

1 In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, sugar and 1tsp fine salt. Add oil and 200ml (7fl oz) lukewarm water in one go and mix to combine. Tip on to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5min, until smooth and elastic. Return to a clean bowl; cover with greased clingfilm (oil-side down). Leave to rise in a warm place for 30-45min.
2 Preheat oven to 240°C (220°C fan) mark 9, and put 2 large baking sheets into oven to heat up. Divide dough in half. Roll out each half on a lightly floured surface to a rough 33cm (13in) circle. Transfer each to a large sheet of baking parchment.
3 Mix crème fraîche, Parmesan and some seasoning and spread on to the dough bases, leaving a 2.5cm (1in) border. Scatter over the turkey, Stilton and walnuts. Dollop on cranberry sauce.
4 Carefully remove a baking sheet from oven and slip pizza on to it (still on its parchment). Repeat with other pizza. Cook in oven for 10-12min, until golden and crisp. Scatter over parsley and serve.
