method
1. Roll out or press the scone (biscuit) base, using a rolling pin or your hands, into a 25 cm (10 inch) circle on a lightly floured work surface. Place on a large greased baking sheet (cookie sheet) or pizza pan and push up the edge a little with your fingers to form a rim.
2. Spread with the tomato sauce almost to the edge. Dot with the soft cheese and herbs.
3. Wipe and slice the mushrooms. Heat the oil in a large frying pan (skillet) or wok and stir-fry the mushrooms and fennel seeds for 2 - 3 minutes. Spread over the pizza with the walnuts.
4. Crumble the cheese over the pizza, drizzle with a little olive oil and season.
5. Bake in a preheated oven, 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6, for 18 - 20 minutes, or until the edge is crisp and golden. Serve immediately, garnished with a sprig of flat-leaf parsley.
