  TM 5
  
  If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
  For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
  
  Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Recipe's preparation

Dough

1. Add the ingredients in this order: water, olive oil, yeast, flour, salt.

2. Blend on speed 7 for 10 seconds to combine.

3. Knead on "Dough mode" for 6 minutes.

4. Place ball of dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with cling wrap. Place it in a warm spot for at least 1 hour.

5. Roll out dough on your ThermoMat or baking paper, ensuring the length is no longer than your baking tray

Pesto

1. Place parmesan and garlic into "Closed lid" and grate on speed 8 for 15 seconds.

2. Add pine nuts, cashews and basil leaves, then blend on speed 7 for 10 seconds. Use your spatula to scrape down the bowl then blend on speed 7 for an additional 5 seconds until smooth.

3. Add olive oil and combine on speed 4 for 45 seconds.

NOTE: You will use about half the finished pesto in this recipe; the rest is delicious on meat, pasta, salad or on its own as a dip.

Pizza Sauce

1. Add garlic and capsicum to the "Closed lid" and chop on speed 6 for 3 seconds.

2. Use the spatula to scrape down the "Closed lid" and add all the remaining ingredients. Cook on Varoma speed 2 for 20 minutes, replacing the MC with the steamer basket.

3. Blend on speed 7 for 10 seconds. Use your spatula to scrape down the "Closed lid" then blend on speed 7 for an additional 5 seconds until you have a smooth paste.

Filling & Assembly

1. Spread the pizza sauce lengthways down the middle third of the rolled out dough all the way to the ends.

2. Spread the pesto on top of the pizza sauce.

3. Top with diced chorizo, bacon and mushrooms (if you have whole mushrooms, chorizo and bacon rashers, add them to the "Closed lid" and chop on speed 5 for 5 seconds).

4. Cover generously with tasty cheese and mozzarella.

5. Using your spatula, cut the dough into an equal number of diagonal strips on each side of the filling. Fold one strip over the filling, then fold one strip from the opposite side over the first strip. Repeat all the way along to form a plait.

6. Brush with egg wash.

7. Bake at 180 degrees for 30 minutes until golden.
