Ingredients

For the base

250 g
self-raising flour, plus extra to dust
175 g
Greek-style yogurt

For the topping

2
large tomatoes (about 200g)
1 Tbsp.
extra virgin olive oil
1
peach, destined and finely sliced
125 g
mozzarella ball, drained and torn, see intro
Small handful basil, leaves picked

Directions

1. Step 1For the base, in a medium bowl, mix the flour, a pinch of fine salt and the yogurt to make a dough. Knead on a lightly floured work surface for 1min, then cover with the empty upturned bowl and leave to rest for 10min.
2. Step 2For the topping, coarsely grate the tomatoes, discarding any skin that won’t grate. Transfer to a bowl and mix in the oil and some seasoning.
3. Step 3Divide the dough in 1/2 and press or roll out the first portion into a rough 25cm circle.
4. Step 4Preheat grill to high. Heat a large ovenproof frying pan (about 22cm across the base) over high hob heat until very hot. Carefully lift the dough circle into the pan and spread over the tomato mixture, leaving a rough 2cm border. Scatter over ó the peach slices. Cook for 2min, or until the base is starting to brown. Continue cooking under the grill for about 2min, or until the crust is puffed and golden.
5. Step 5Transfer the pizza to a board and scatter over 1/2 each of the mozzarella and basil. Repeat with remaining base and topping. Serve.
