Preparation steps
1.
For the base: mix together the flour, turmeric, yeast and salt in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the water and oil. Mix to a soft, fairly wet dough.
2.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Put into a lightly greased bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise until doubled in size - about 1 hour.
3.
Heat the oven to 220°C (200° fan) 425°F gas 7. Line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
4.
Quickly knead the dough and roll out into a large round about 25 cm|10" in diameter. Place on the baking tray.
5.
For the topping: heat half the oil in a pan and cook the peppers, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until the mushrooms are golden. Remove from the heat.
6.
Spread the tomatoes on the pizza base and sprinkle with oregano. Arrange the peppers and mushrooms on top.
7.
Bake for 12 minutes, then sprinkle with the garlic and black pepper. Top with the mozzarella and parmesan. Drizzle with the remaining oil.
8.
Bake for a further 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling.
