Preparation
- Brush a 30 cm pizza tray with oil and sprinkle with cornmeal or semolina. Preheat oven to 210°C.
- Combine yeast, sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour in a small mixing bowl. Gradually add water: blend until smooth. Stand, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for about 10 minutes or until foamy.
- Sift remaining flour into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre. Add yeast mixture and oil. Using a knife, mix to a soft dough.
- Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead 5 minutes or until smooth. Shape dough into a ball, place in a large, lightly oiled mixing bowl. Leave, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place 20 minutes or until well risen.
- In the meantime prepare the topping: In a pan heat up the olive oil and fry the zucchini slices briefly.
- Add Vegeta Delight stock to the tomato and stir through.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead for another 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Roll out to fit prepared tray.
- Cover the dough with prepared tomato, sprinkle with grated cheese and arrange zucchini slices on top. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Serving
Arrange the rocket leaves over the cooked pizza and serve warm.
Tip
Instead of frying the zucchini first, you can grate them directly on the pizza prior to baking.
