Want to make your own pizza at home? Try this cherry tomato and basil pizza recipe. The advantage of baking up your very own pizzas (inside of buying them from the supermarket or a takeaway) is that you know exactly what is being put into them. So you can be sure that you’re using fresh, wholesome foods, rather than processed ingredients.
Ingredients (makes 1 pizza)
For the pizza base:
150g gluten-free self-raising flour
25g unsalted butter
50ml whole milk
For the pizza topping:
100g cherry tomatoes
50g mozzarella
100g Cathedral City Mature Cheddar, grated
Fresh basil
Cracked black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.
In a food processor, mix together the flour and butter, gradually adding the milk to bind the mixture into a dough.
Dust a clean work surface with flour and flatten the pizza dough into a disc, approximately 1cm thick.
Chop the cherry tomatoes and evenly spread them onto the dough. Sprinkle the Cathedral City Mature Cheddar over the base and then break up the mozzarella by hand and arrange it over the pizza. Break up the basil leaves and arrange with a few cherry tomatoes and season generously with black pepper.
Bake the pizza in the oven for 10 minutes, or until crispy and cooked through.
