Directions
- Mix together dough ingredients. Place onto a lightly floured surface and knead just for a minute or two to create a smooth, soft, still slightly sticky dough. Place into a grease bowl and cover with cling film. Leave to rest for an hour or you can make it in the morning and cook it in the evening!
- Blend together pesto ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth. Season to taste. Can be kept in the fridge for up to one week.
- Preheat your oven to 200C (400F).
- Grease two pieces of parchment paper with spray oil.
- Place dough between the sheets and roll using a rolling pin to form a 12 inch disc or oval. Lift the top sheet and then lift the pizza base up with the bottom sheet straight onto a baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove and top with pesto, courgette, peach slices and cheese. Return to the oven to cook for 10 minutes. Serve garnish with fresh basil and a little drizzle of honey.
