Ember Cherry Tomato and Basil Pizza

Pizza topped with cherry tomatoes and basil

Halved cherry tomatoes burst in the Ember's heat. Keep the rest of the topping simple so they shine.

Ingredients (makes 2 pizzas)

  • 2 pizza dough balls (about 250g each)
  • 150g mozzarella, torn
  • 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh basil
  • Flaky salt

Method

  1. Preheat the Ember until the stone is hot.
  2. Stretch the dough. Scatter mozzarella, then tomatoes cut-side up. Drizzle with oil.
  3. Bake hot and fast, turning until the rim is leopard-spotted and tomatoes soften.
  4. Finish with basil and flaky salt.

Tip: Pat tomatoes dry so the centre of the pizza does not go wet.
