Scone based pizza

I am too lazy to make pizza dough with yeast, I always leave it too late to allow proving time, but when the children were small I had a cookbook from the milkman which had some great recipes in, including a scone based pizza. Needless to say, I don't have it any more so I looked it upon the Internet and there it was. And here it is:-

Makes I approx 20cm pizza.

Heat oven to 180

110g self raising flour (or 105g plain + 1 tsp baking powder)
25g butter
1 med egg
1 tbsp milk
Salt

50g lardons
1 small onion or shallot sliced
1 clove garlic smashed and chopped
Small splash oil
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 generous squirts of tomato puree
Salt and pepper
Dried oregano
3 slices of green pepper
Large handful grated cheese.

Rub butter into flour until like fine breadcrumbs. Add salt, egg and milk until it comes together. If it is wet dust your surfaces and hands with more flour. Press out onto a greased and floured baking tray, leave a small ridge round the edge to contain the filling.

Fry lardons onion and garlic in the oil, when lardons start to go golden add chopped tomatoes and allow to cook down. Add tomato purée, mix well and add seasonings. Put slices of pepper on top to let them start to soften.
Spread toppings on pizza, keeping back the pepper slices. Sprinkle cheese on top and add green pepper slices.

Bake at 180 for 15 minutes until top starts to colour.
