Black Olive, Serrano Ham and Red and Yellow Cherry Tomato Pizza

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half through the equator. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press if you have one). Tear each serrano ham slice into roughly four or five bite-sized pieces. Cut the olives in half. Cut each mozzarella ball into eight slices, then tear each slice into about four or five small-ish pieces (it doesn't have to be exact). Remove the basil leaves from their stalks, roughly chop the stalks and half the leaves (leave the rest of the leaves whole for garnish later).

Put a saucepan on medium heat with a drizzle of oil and add your garlic and basil stalks. Cook for 1 minute, then pour in the tomato passata and add your chopped basil leaves. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper and stir everything together. Simmer gently for 5-6 mins, then remove the pan from the heat.

While your sauce cooks, roll out your pizza dough! Dust your work surface with some flour, if you have some. If not, place your dough between two large sheets of clingfilm (so it doesn't stick to your work surface!). Roll out into rounds roughly 25cm across. Tip: If you don’t have a rolling pin you can always use a wine bottle wrapped in clingfilm.

Carefully take the baking trays out of your oven and place your pizza bases on them. Divide your tomato sauce between your pizza bases, then using the back of a spoon, spread it over with swirling motions. Leave a 1cm gap around the edge.

Distribute your mozzarella over your pizzas, followed by your cherry tomatoes and olives. Finally pop your serrano ham pieces on top (they will go crispy in your oven if they are on top… yum!).

Grind over some black pepper and pop them in your oven for 15 mins. Tip: Keep an eye on them to make sure they aren't burning!

Get your washing up done and prepare for a pizza party!
