To make the fennel sausage, place the fennel seeds and chilli flakes into a pestle and mortar and grind to a powder. Add the salt and breadcrumbs and grind briefly to combine.

Step 2;

Step 3;

Heat a cast iron pan in Roccbox, add the broccoli and cook for 2 minutes or until charring nicely then toss it straight into the marinade bowl mixing so it’s well coated. Leave to one side.

Step 5;

Slide the made pizza onto a placement peel and bake in Roccbox for 90 seconds. Grate over a dusting of parmesan before getting stuck in.
