1. First, make the pizza dough. Sift the plain flour, yeast and salt into a mixing bowl, add 225ml hand-hot water and mix to a soft dough – add a dash more water if it seems a little dry. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Return to a clean, lightly oiled bowl, cover with cling film and leave somewhere warm (but not hot) for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
2. Meanwhile, make the topping. Heat the olive oil and garlic in a medium pan for 1-2 minutes, until the garlic sizzles. Add the passata, oregano or thyme and sugar and simmer quite vigorously, stirring now and then, for 30 minutes, until reduced to a thick sauce. Season and set aside.
3. If using a charcoal barbecue, light it about 30 minutes before you want to cook. If using a gas barbecue, preheat 10 minutes beforehand.
4. Punch the risen dough to knock out the air, turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead briefly until smooth. Halve equally and roll each piece to about a 25cm circle. Transfer to 2 baking sheets and brush with oil.
5. Lift the pizza bases, oil-side down, onto the barbecue bars and cook over direct medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until marked by the barbecue bars. Flip over and cook for a further 2 minutes.
6. Slide the pizza bases back onto the baking sheets and spread with the tomato sauce, leaving a 1-2cm border. Scatter over the artichokes, roasted peppers strips, sun-dried tomatoes, bocconcini or torn mozzarella, pitted olives and grated Cheddar. Brush the bars of the barbecue with oil, slide the pizzas back onto the bars, cover with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, until hot and the cheese has melted.
7. Lift the pizzas onto a chopping board, cut into wedges and serve with a mixed salad.
