Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 100°C.
  • Season quartered tomatoes with oil, salt, thyme, and pepper, then roast for 90 minutes until dried but succulent.
  • Mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl.
  • Add 300ml water to the dry ingredients to form a soft, sticky dough.
  • Knead dough on a floured surface until elastic and leave to rise for one hour in a warm place.
  • Blanch basil for 30 seconds, refresh in iced water, and squeeze dry.
  • Pound basil, pine nuts, parmesan, and garlic in a mortar, then stir in 75ml olive oil.
  • Preheat the oven to 230°C with a heavy tray or pizza stone inside.
  • Roast the garlic bulb for 15-20 minutes, then squeeze the soft flesh into a bowl.
  • Purée half the roasted tomatoes with 30ml olive oil.
  • Knead dough briefly, divide into four pieces, and roll each to 0.5cm thickness.
  • Top dough with tomato purée, roasted tomatoes, onion, peppers, garlic, cheeses, pesto, and olive oil.
  • Bake for 5-10 minutes until golden, then scatter with rocket leaves.
