MAKES 1 PIZZA

Chilli salami and crispy prosciutto give this pizza a spicy, salty kick that sings with the peppery zip of rocket.

Ingredients

  • ½ portion pizza dough or 1 purchased pizza base
  • olive oil, for brushing
  • ½ cup purchased tomato pasta sauce
  • ½ cup freshly grated parmesan
  • 80 grams of thinly sliced calabrese salami
  • 80 grams prosciutto
  • 125-gram ball of fresh mozzarella in whey, well-drained
  • ground pepper
  • handful rocket leaves

Method

Preheat the oven to 225°C fan bake. Place a heavy, flat baking tray inside to preheat.

Roll out the dough on a large piece of baking paper to about 28cm. Brush a 2cm border with olive oil, then spread the tomato sauce over the dough. Sprinkle over the parmesan and top with the salami and prosciutto. Rip the mozzarella into pieces and pat dry with kitchen towels. Dot over the pizza and drizzle with a little olive oil and a grind of pepper.

Slide the pizza, still on the paper, onto the hot baking tray and bake for about 12 minutes, or until puffed and golden, turning for even browning if necessary. Top with the rocket and serve immediately.
