Ricotta Honey & Thyme Pizza
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS:
6g fresh yeast
100ml tepid water
200g plain white flour
50ml olive oil
250g ricotta cheese or goats cheese
2 tsp finely chopped fresh thyme
1 tbsp honey
salt and freshly ground black pepper
METHOD:
1. Put the fresh yeast into a small bowl and cover with 100ml of the water and leave to dissolve for 5 minutes. Place the flour in a bowl and make a well in
the centre and pour the dissolved yeast into the centre. Then add a pinch of salt and mix in the flour from the sides. Add approximately 100ml of water
and mix into a dough. Tip out onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough by pushing the dough away from you with the back of your hand until
you reach a light consistency. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a tea towel and place in a warm place for approximately 3 hours to allow the
dough to rise.
2. Preheat the oven to at 180°C, 350°F, Gas Mark 4. When the dough has risen tip out onto a floured board and roll out to make a circular pizza shape, I like my pizzas thin so I roll it to about 5mm (1/4in) thick. Then brush the pizza base with some olive oil, crumble the ricotta cheese on top, drizzle the honey over the cheese and sprinkle over the finely chopped thyme. Season with salt and pepper, then place in the oven for 20 minutes.
