How it's done

Pizza dough

Mix the flour, semolina, salt and yeast in a bowl. Add the water and oil, mix into a soft, smooth dough using the dough hook on a food processor for approx. 10 mins. on a low setting. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 2 hrs. until doubled in size.

Topping

Divide the dough in half, shape into 2 balls, flatten both pieces a little. Dust the work surface with semolina and roll the dough into circles (approx. 30 cm in diameter), transfer each pizza base to a tray lined with baking paper. Combine the passata, oil, garlic and basil, season. Spread the sauce over both pizza bases, leaving a border of approx. 1.5 cm all the way around. Top with the mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and mascarpone.

To bake

Approx. 25 mins. on the bottom shelf of an oven preheated to 240°C. Remove from the oven, top with half of the cured ham and rocket, season. Bake and top the second pizza in the same way.
