Ingredients
2
courgettes, we used green, sliced
1Tbsp.
olive oil
Plain flour, to dust
2
x 220g balls pizza dough, defrosted if frozen, we used The Northern Dough Co
2Tbsp.
truffle oil (see intro)
250g
ricotta
2Tbsp.
finely chopped chives
Finely grated zest 1 lemon
250g
mozzarella, drained and sliced (from a 385g pack)
40g
hazelnuts, roughly chopped
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 240°C (220°C fan) mark 9.
Toss the courgette
slices with olive oil
and some seasoning.
Heat a griddle pan over
medium-high heat and
griddle courgette slices
for 4-5min, until starting
to char, turning halfway.
Step 2Meanwhile, on a
floured surface, roll out
each portion of dough to
a rough 30cm circle and
transfer each to a baking
sheet. Brush each base all over with a little
truffle oil.
Step 3In a small bowl, whisk
together the ricotta,
chives, lemon zest and
plenty of seasoning.
Step 4Divide griddled
courgette slices between
the 2 pizza bases and
dot over the ricotta
mixture. Top with the
mozzarella and scatter
over the hazelnuts. Cook
in the oven for 12min,
until golden and crisp.
Drizzle over a little more
truffle oil to serve.
You can drop the truffle oil if you find it too overpowering – just sub with a nice garlic oil instead.
If you fancy making your pizza in your pizza oven, preheat the pizza oven to 400°C. Transfer the pizza to your pizza oven, using your pizza peel, for about 3min until crispy and golden, turning around regularly with the peel.
