Pesto, Ricotta and Rocket Pizza
his pizza might rock your world. It has been shared with us by Sam Colden from The Annoyed Thyroid. It is a little unorthodox – not only is it made with just flour and yoghurt, it’s flipped half way through cooking. But what you will have at the end is a perfect pizza, every single time! It’s just all kinds of delicious!

- Bake for about 5-7 minutes until just golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and carefully flip the base over using a spatula.
- Spread the pesto (3 Tbsp) over the base, right up to the crust and drizzle with a little olive oil. Return to the oven for another 5-8 minutes until the edges are golden.
- Remove from the oven and dollop the ricotta (100g) and scatter the rocket (handful) all over the pizza. Finish it off with a drizzle of olive oil and a good grinding of black pepper.
