Makes 2 pizzas
For the dough
1 tsp honey
375 ml warm water
1 ¼ tsp instant yeast
210 g bread flour
45 g yellow cornmeal
1 tsp fine salt
1 tsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing
Semolina, for dusting
Non-stick oil spray
For the pesto
2 bunch basil leaves, leaves picked
45 g pine nuts, toasted
1 clove garlic
65 ml extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt, to season
Freshly ground black pepper, to season
For the topping
2 truss tomatoes, sliced thick
4 heirloom tomatoes, halved
12 slices prosciutto
2 fresh figs, cut into quarters
125 g buffalo mozzarella,
thinly sliced or torn
1. In a small bowl, dissolve the honey and
water. Sprinkle over the yeast and let stand
for 3 mins.
2. Place the flour, cornmeal and salt in the
bowl of a bench mixer with a dough hook
attachment. Mix on low speed to combine.
Add the honey, yeast and water mixture and
knead for 5–7 mins or until dough is smooth
and elastic.
3. Grease a bowl with the olive oil and transfer
the dough to the bowl. Cover with plastic
wrap and set aside for 30 mins.
4. After resting, grease a baking tray with the
remaining olive oil. Divide the dough into
2 × 210 g, even sized round balls and place
them on the tray. Lightly spray the dough
with oil and cover with a clean tea towel.
Set aside for 30 mins.
5. Place the basil, garlic and pine nuts in a
food processor. Process until just combined.
Add the oil slowly and process until the
pesto is combined. Season to taste with
salt and pepper.
6. Pre-heat the oven. Select PIZZA/SUPER
CONVECTION/210°C/5 mins and press
start. When the oven is preheated, place the
pizza pan into the middle-rack position for
5 mins to pre-heat the pan only.
7. Stretch the dough to fit the pizza pan,
remove the pizza pan from the oven and
carefully place the dough onto the
preheated pan.
8. Pre-heat the oven. Select PIZZA/SUPER
CONVECTION/210°C/13 mins and press
start. Spread half of the sauce evenly on the
dough, leaving a 1 cm border of crust.
Top with half of the tomatoes, prosciutto,
figs and mozzarella on the pizza and, once
preheated, place it into the oven.
Bake for 13 mins or until the pizza is crisp.
Remove the pizza from the oven.
9. Repeat the same process again with the
remaining dough and toppings.
