Method

1. Make up the pizza dough according to the directions on the packet. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a round of about 25cm/10in diameter.

2. Brush the dough round with olive oil and place, oiled side down, on a medium barbecue. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until firm and golden underneath. Brush the uncooked side with olive oil and turn the pizza over.

3. Mix together the passata and red pesto and quickly spread over the cooked side of the pizza, to within about 1cm/½in of the edge. Arrange the onion, tomatoes and cheese on top and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

4. Cook the pizza for 10 minutes more, until golden brown and crisp. Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve.
