Method

  1. 1

    Preheat. Turn the oven to 220 °C.

  2. 2

    Prepare. On a floured surface, roll or stretch the 450 g dough into a 30 cm circle or rectangle that fits your tray, then lift it onto the lightly floured baking tray.

  3. 3

    Part-bake. Brush the top of the dough with oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes (about 1½ tbsp) and bake for 15 minutes to firm the base.

  4. 4

    Top. Remove from the oven, arrange the 225 g sun-dried tomatoes in a decorative pinwheel pattern, then fit thin slices of the 225 g smoked mozzarella between them.

  5. 5

    Finish. Bake for a further 5 minutes until the cheese melts and the crust takes on a golden hue.

  6. 6

    Garnish. If you have fresh basil, tear 2 tbsp over the surface and slice to serve.
