For polenta pepper pizza, bring 1 litre (1¾ pints) water to the boil in a large saucepan. Slowly pour in 250 g (8 oz) polenta, stirring constantly. Add 1 teaspoon dried oregano, season and continue to cook, stirring, for 8–10 minutes, until the polenta is thick.

Divide in half, pour out onto 2 lightly oiled baking sheets, and spread into a circle about 1 cm (½ inch) thick. Bake in a preheated oven, 200°C (400°F), Gas Mark 6, for 12 minutes.

Spread 400 g (13 oz) can chopped tomatoes over the polenta, then top with 350 g (11½ oz) ready-roasted peppers, cut into strips, and 10–12 roughly torn basil leaves, then sprinkle with 250 g (8 oz) sliced mozzarella cheese.

Bake for a further 12–15 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbling. Serve hot, cut into wedges. Total cooking time 40 minutes.
