Method

Make up the pizza base mix to pack instructions; set aside for 40 mins to rise.
Meanwhile, cut the mozzarella into 16 pieces. Lightly grease and line a 23cm round springform baking tin.
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 mins, then divide into 16 pieces (about 50g each). Roll and flatten each piece to make a circle about 10cm, then place a piece of mozzarella and ½ tsp ’nduja in the centre.
Bring up the sides of the dough and pinch to seal, then arrange, sealed-side down, in the tin. Repeat with the remaining dough, keeping it covered when not in use, until you have 10 balls around the edge of the tin, 5 in a second circle and 1 in the middle. Cover and set aside for 20-25 mins until puffed slightly.
Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Brush the dough balls with beaten egg and bake for 25 mins or until deep golden.
Meanwhile, mix the soft cheese, red pesto and balsamic vinegar in a bowl. Leave the baked dough balls to cool for 10 mins, then serve warm with the dip, scattered with basil leaves, if you like.

Make ahead: Make the dip up to 24 hrs ahead and keep in the fridge. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
