Instructions
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Tear each serrano ham slice into four bite-sized pieces. Halve the olives. Cut each mozzarella ball into eight slices, tear each slice into four or five small-ish pieces (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. Gently simmer 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 (don't use the flour we've sent you yet!). 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 (it should be about 1cm thick). Tip: If you don’t have a rolling pin you can always use a wine bottle wrapped in clingfilm.
Sprinkle some flour onto baking trays and then place your pizza bases on them (this will help stop the dough sticking). 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 20 mins. Tip: Keep an eye on them to make sure they aren't browning too much!
When your pizzas are cooked (the cheese should be bubbling and the crust should be golden. Leave them in for a couple more mins if this isn't the case). When ready, remove from your oven and tear over some basil leaves. Serve and enjoy!
