Stuffed Crust Pesto Pizza

Fancying a Friday Night Pizza? Why not try this one with a crust stuffed with gooey cheese and topped with pesto and fresh vegetables? It's definitely worth a taste!

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

1 Packet or Portion of Pizza Dough

Cheddar Cheese

Tomato Paste

1 Tablespoon Pesto

1/3 Red Onion

1/3 Red Pepper

4 Baby Plum Tomatoes

Mozzarella Cheese

Fresh Basil Leaves

Olive Oil

Balsamic Glaze

Rocket to Top

METHOD

Preheat your oven to 200°C.

Roll out your pizza dough into a square, place on top of a pan lined with baking paper.

Slice thin strips of cheese and place them in a rectangle approximately a centimetre in from the edge of your dough. On the inner side squeeze a line of tomato paste.

Pull the edge of your pizza dough over the cheese and tomato paste and press down with your fingers to form a seal.

Spread a tablespoon of pesto over the middle of your pizza dough.

Thinly slice approximately 1/3rd of a red onion and a red pepper. Add to the top of the pizza.

Slice 6 rounds of mozzarella approximately half a centimetre thick. Halve approximately 4 baby plum tomatoes and add to the top of the pizza.

Add the basil leaves, remember to tuck them under some of the other toppings so they don't burn.

Drizzle over some olive oil and balsamic glaze.

Put in an oven for 10 minutes.

Take out the oven, top with rocket and serve hot.
