Preparation method
-
For the pizza dough, place the flour into a large bowl and add half the olive oil and enough water to make a firm dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out to 1cm/½in thick. Cut out a disc to fit the base of a medium ovenproof frying pan.
-
Heat the remaining olive oil in the frying pan and cook the dough disc on both sides until crisp.
-
For the tomato sauce, heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and cook gently until softened. Add the garlic and cook for one minute.
-
Add the tomatoes and a pinch of sugar and simmer for five minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and the sauce has thickened. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Spread a thin layer of the sauce over the pizza base.
-
For the topping, sprinkle the parmesan over the pizza base.
-
Clean the cockles and clams thoroughly under running water. Discard any that do not close when tapped against a work surface.
-
Place the cockles and clams into a pan, add the wine, cover with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until all the shells have opened. Discard any cockles and clams that have not opened.
-
Preheat the grill to medium.
-
Place the cockles and clams onto the pizza base and place the frying pan under the grill for 2-3 minutes.
-
To serve, place the pizza onto a large serving plate and cut into wedges.
