Method

  1. Make up the pizza mix according to instructions (you will need to use both packets that are in the box). Roll out quite thinly and use to line the base of a 28-30cm shallow square or round baking tin. Let stand according to packet instructions and preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7/fan 200C.
  2. Mix the tomatoes with 2 tbsp of the pesto and spread over the pizza, leaving a bare rim around the edge. Scatter the artichokes and prosciutto on top (the ham tears as you remove it from the packet, which is what you want). Cover with the mozzarella and sprinkle with the parmesan and some freshly ground black pepper, then drizzle with the rest of the pesto mixed with the artichoke oil.
  3. Bake for about 20 minutes until the base is cooked through and the cheese has melted. Serve hot.

'This was an easy-to-make change from our usual tomato and cheese, and much tastier than I expected.'

    This pizza tastes great. I have also used the tomato pesto mixture to make fresh bruschetta - quick and easy and tastes great!

    Different taste to a normal pizza. Found it a bit too salty. I will make it again but I will not use the whole jar of artichokes. Also the fresh tomatoes made it a bit soggy on the base. Next time I will change a few things, what I do not know right now, I will let you know.

    This was fantastic. Really easy and quick to make after work and perfect with a glass of chilled white wine and a peppery salad. It went down a storm with my group of friends. I will certainly make this again!
