1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, sliced

125g fresh buffalo mozzarella, torn

Kale pesto

100g kale

1 garlic clove

¼ cup (60ml) extra virgin olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

¼ cup finely grated parmesan

Method

Preheat the oven to 250°C and grease 2 pizza trays with oil.

Prepare frozen dough as per packet instructions. (We soaked discs in a sink of lukewarm water for 30 minutes to thaw and prove slightly.)

Meanwhile, place tomato and semi dried tomatoes including all the liquid in a small food processor or blender and whiz until smooth.

For the kale pesto, place kale in a heat proof bowl or saucepan and cover with just boiled water. Set aside for 2 minutes then drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Transfer to a small food processor with remaining ingredients and pulse for 1 minute or until finely chopped.

Roll out pizza dough to make 2 x 26cm rounds. Transfer to prepared trays. Using fingers to push dough out to the edges.

Divide tomato mixture between pizza bases and spread out to the edges with the back of a spoon. Divide olives, artichokes, mushrooms and ham between pizzas. Finish with buffalo cheese and bake, swapping trays halfway, for 15 minutes or until golden and pizzas move easily from tray.

Spoon pesto over pizzas and serve remaining alongside.
