Makes 2 pizzas
For the dough
1 tsp honey
375 ml warm water
1 ¼ tsp quick rise instant yeast
210 g flour
45 g yellow cornmeal
1 tsp salt
1 tsp olive oil, for greasing
Non-stick oil spray
For the pesto
2 bunches basil leaves
50 g pine nuts, toasted
3 cloves garlic
125 ml extra virgin olive oil,
plus extra to layer
Sea salt, to season
50 g grated Parmesan cheese
For the toppings
12 slices prosciutto, torn
200 g buffalo mozzarella, torn
4 artichoke hearts, sliced
70 g semi-dried tomatoes
60 g Kalamata olives, pitted
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 ½ 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, pine nuts, garlic, oil and salt
in a food processor. Process until combined.
Add Parmesan and process again until well
combined. Store in an air-tight container with
a layer of olive oil on the top.
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. Spoon half the pesto over the pizza
base and spread evenly. Top with half of the
prosciutto, mozzarella, artichokes, tomatoes
and olives 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 ingredients.
