  1. 1

    Heat Oven. Heat the oven to 260 °C with a shelf in the middle and brush the tray with 15 ml oil.

  2. 2

    Mix Base. Combine crème fraîche (120 g), basil (4 tbsp chopped) and chilli flakes (¼ tsp) in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Shape Dough. Roll the dough (450 g) on a lightly floured worktop to about 40 x 25 cm and 6 mm thick, lift onto the tray and brush the edges with 10 ml oil.

  4. 4

    Build. Spread the crème fraîche mixture leaving a 1 cm border, scatter fontina (225 g grated), quartered tomatoes (170 g), sweetcorn kernels (120 g), thinly sliced shallot (1) and salt (¼ tsp).

  5. 5

    Bake. Bake 15-20 min, turning halfway, until golden with browned spots.

  6. 6

    Finish. Cool 5 min, toss baby rocket (55 g) with the last 5 ml oil, pile over the pizza and slice.

Storage
