Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas mark 6.

2. Place the pizza base on a large, greased baking tray. Spread the tomato sauce over the base, almost to the edge.

3. Put the sliced chorizo on one quarter of the pizza, the sliced mushrooms on another, the artichoke hearts on a third, and the mozzarella and anchovies on the fourth.

4. Dot all over with the capers, olives and basil leaves. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season. Do not put any salt on the anchovy section.

5. Bake in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or follow the instructions for the pizza base, until the crust is golden and crisp. Serve immediately.
