Equipment

  • 1 Pizza tray or small baking sheet
  • 1 knife
  • 1 Chopping board

Ingredients
  

For the mozzarella, tomato and basil pizza

  • 2 slices sourdough bread (medium thickness)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (& more to drizzle at the end)
  • 100 g mozzarella cheese grated
  • 10 cherry tomatoes halved
  • handful of basil leaves

For the figs, goats cheese and arugula pizza

  • 2 slices sourdough bread (medium thickness)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (& more to drizzle at the end)
  • 75 g fresh mozzarella ball (or just use grated)
  • 75 g goats cheese
  • handful of arugula leaves

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven:

  • To a high temperature (around 450°F/230°C).

Prepare the sourdough slices:

  • Cut a loaf of sourdough bread into thick slices. Use a tray lined with parchment paper (I use a pizza tray with holes that lets air circulate for extra crispiness), brush with olive oil. Place the slices of sourdough on the paper and drizzle plenty of olive oil over each slice. Brush if needed to coat them well.

Add classic toppings:

  • Top with grated or fresh mozzarella cheese, halved cherry tomatoes and basil (in this order). Use fresh or grated mozzarella.

Try other toppings:

  • Repeat by making another batch with fresh mozzarella, figs and goat cheese, pressing leaves of arugula (rocket) in the cheese so they stay put.

Bake and serve:

  • Place the slices on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Add more fresh basil, a drizzle of olive oil and more fresh arugula.

Notes

FLOSSIE'S FAVORITE TOPPINGS
• Classic: Mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil.
• Sweet and savory: Figs, goat cheese, and arugula.
• Vegetarian: Roasted veggies (pepper, zucchini or eggplant), pesto, and shavings of Parmesan.
• Ham and Mushrooms: Parma ham, pepper and mushrooms, topped with Mozzarella.
The measurements are given as a guide, you can be quite liberal with the oil, cheese and herbs.
