Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5. Put the pizza base mix into a bowl, add the hot water and mix to form a dough.

2. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to form a rectangle measuring 35 x 23cm/14 x 9in. Brush all over with some of the melted butter, reserving a little for later. Mix the sugar with half the cinnamon and two-thirds of the nuts.

3. Sprinkle over the dough. Starting from a long side, roll up like a Swiss roll. Dampen the edge with water and press down firmly to seal the roll. Cut the roll into 8 equal slices. Put the slices flat and push down with the palm of your hand to form neat pinwheels.

4. Generously butter a 23cm/9in round sandwich tin and coat with the cinnamon. Arrange slices of the roll in the tin. Brush all over with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar and flaked almonds.

5. Cover with a lightly oiled polythene bag and leave to prove in a warm place until doubled in size. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Drizzle with the warmed golden syrup while still hot.

6. Stand on a wire rack to cool. Can be eaten warm or cool.
