Cooking instructions

Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.

1.

Preheat the oven to 240ºC/ 220ºC (fan)/ gas 9

Put a large baking tray (or two) in the oven to heat up (this will stop the pizza bottom[s] from going soggy!)

Add your dried yeast to a large bowl with 100ml [150ml] [200ml] warm water and 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] sugar

Give it a good mix up and set aside for 5-10 min for the yeast to develop

Step 1
2.

While the yeast develops, peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Slice your tomato[es] into rounds (3 per person!)

Chop your pistachios roughly

Drain your mozzarella, then pat and squeeze as much liquid out as you can with kitchen paper

Tear the drained mozzarella into rough, bite-sized pieces

Step 2
3.

Add your pizza base mix to the bowl with the yeast

Gradually add up to 75ml [115ml] [150ml] warm water (you may not need all of it!), a little at a time, and gently mix with a plastic spatula until a sticky dough ball has formed

Tip the dough out onto a floured work surface and cut into 1 ball per person

Toss each dough ball in a light dusting of flour until coated, rounding the ball as you go (no need to knead!)

Step 3
4.

Press each dough ball in the centre and gently push outwards with your fingertips (don't worry if the dough rips, just stick it back together and carry on!)

Tip: Dust with extra sprinkles of flour as you go to stop it sticking!

Keep going until your base is the size of a regular plate – this is your pizza base[s]

Step 4
5.

Heat a large, dry, wide-based pan (or two) (preferably non-stick) over a high heat

Add a drizzle of olive oil to the top of the pizza base[s] and then fold in half – this is your folded pizza base[s]

Once hot, carefully add the folded pizza base[s] to the pan[s], one at a time, and cook for 2-3 min on each side or until a crust has started to form

Repeat this process for the remaining folded pizza base[s]

Step 5
6.

Remove the heated tray[s] from the oven and slide the folded pizza base[s] onto the tray[s]

Put the tray[s] in the oven for 6-8 min or until the pizza base[s] have browned – this is your pizza sandwich[es]

Step 6
7.

Meanwhile, wash your rocket then pat it dry with kitchen paper

Combine your traditional Italian pesto with the chopped garlic in a bowl

To build your sandwich[es], spread the pesto along the inside of your pizza sandwich[es] and stuff with the tomato rounds, your sliced prosciutto, torn mozzarella, a handful of rocket (you'll use the rest later!) and the chopped pistachios – this is your prosciutto, pistachio & pesto pizza sandwich[es]

Step 7
8.

Serve the prosciutto, pistachio & pesto pizza sandwich[es] with the remaining rocket to the side

Drizzle the rocket with a little olive oil, your balsamic vinegar and a grind of black pepper

Enjoy!
