Top quality homegrown heritage tomatoes with a good homemade tomato sauce and pesto. Pizza perfection at its most humble. I love this combination with a small twist of sorrel pesto alongside the basil.
Method
Preheat your pizza oven to 375˚C and roll out your dough. Place onto a floured peel and start by spreading tomato sauce around the pizza base with the base of the spoon.
Blitz your sorrel pesto until smooth and season to taste to with lemon and sea salt.
Next arrange mozzarella, sorrel pesto and sliced heritage tomato.
Bake your pizza in the pizza oven for 2-3 mins turning every 30 seconds or so for an even crust.
Remove from the oven and top with freshly chopped basil. Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and cracked black pepper.
This pizza was baked on the Alfa Forni 5 Minuti. For more information and prices, click here.
