  1. Heat the oven to 200°C fan and line a baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Mix the passata, tomato purée, garlic, oregano, olive oil and a little salt and pepper in a bowl.

  3. Place the split rolls cut-side up on the tray and spread them generously with the pizza sauce.

  4. Top with the pepperoni, sliced red pepper and red onion, then cover with the mozzarella and Parmesan.

  5. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the rolls are crisp at the edges and the cheese is melted and bubbling. For darker topping, place them under the grill for the final 1–2 minutes, watching closely.

  6. Scatter with fresh basil, cut into manageable portions if needed and serve hot.
