I can’t tell you how many times this soda bread pizza base has come to the rescue when I needed to whip up a dish of something filling and delicious in no time at all. It can be as simple as a topping of grated aged cheddar cheese or halved, well-seasoned cherry tomatoes.
Serves 6 to 8
- Scant 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for kneading and rolling
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2–1 3/4 cups buttermilk
- Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
- 1/2–1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
- 1 3/4 ounces chorizo, sliced
- 12 ounces Tomato Fondue (recipe follows) or chopped fresh or canned tomatoes mixed with seasoning/spices
- 8 bocconcini, halved
- Scant 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Lots of snipped flat-leaf parsley
