- To make the dough, put the flour, yeast and 1 tsp salt into the bowl of an electric mixer with a dough hook.
- On a medium speed, gradually pour in the oil and 200ml warm water to make a dough. (Alternatively, mix by hand and knead on a floured surface.)
- Cover the bowl with cling film and prove for 1 hr or until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, fry the mince until browned, then drain on a kitchen towel.
- Make the garlic butter by beating the butter with the garlic, sage, tomato purée and some black pepper.
- Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 8.
- Divide the dough into four balls.
- Roll the balls on a floured surface into thin rounds, about 20cm wide.
- Lift onto floured baking trays, then spread with the garlic butter, leaving a 1cm border.
- Sprinkle with the mince, Gorgonzola, onion and chilli.
- Bake for 10-12 mins or until the dough is crisp.
- Scatter over the rocket, olives and lemon zest, and drizzle over some olive oil to serve.
