Ingredients

  • Pizza dough base: 1 (about 250g or 8.8 oz)
  • Yellow nectarines: 2, sliced
  • Artichoke hearts: 200g (7 oz), drained and quartered
  • Rocket (Arugula): 2 cups
  • Mozzarella cheese: 200g (7 oz), shredded
  • Red onion: 1 small, thinly sliced
  • Olive oil: 2 tbsp
  • Active dry yeast: 7g (1/4 oz)
  • Sugar: 1 tsp
  • Warm water: 1 cup (240ml)
  • Flour: 2 1/2 cups (320g or 11.3 oz)
  • Salt: 1 tsp
  • Oil, for bowl: 1 tsp

Method

  • Prepare the Dough: Activate the yeast by mixing it with sugar and warm water (105°F-115°F or 40°C-46°C). Let it sit until frothy, about 5 minutes. In a stand mixer, combine the yeast mixture with flour, salt, and a drizzle of oil. Mix for 3-5 minutes to form a smooth dough. Transfer to an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 482°F (250°C or 230°C fan-forced).
  • Assemble the Pizza: Roll out the dough on a prepared pizza pan. Layer with artichoke hearts and slices of yellow nectarine. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and red onion slices. Drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
  • Add Rocket: Once baked, remove from the oven and immediately top with fresh rocket leaves.
  • Serve: Slice and serve hot.
