An idea for a summery, Greek-inspired pizza. Light, fresh and exceptionally tasty. I just can’t stop making this just now. 🙂
Summer Pizza
Base – See flatbread recipe here. When rolling out the dough, however, use semolina rather than flour to dust the surface. To ensure a crispy base without a stone oven, I like to bake the base in a very hot oven for a couple of minutes before adding the tomato sauce and toppings.
Tomato Sauce – Saute a small onion in olive oil until soft. Add a garlic clove and cook for another minute before adding 4 very ripe, chopped tomatoes. Cook gently for an hour or so until thick and jammy. Add some torn basil.
Toppings – Crumbled feta, capers, olives,, halved cherry tomatoes and a sprinkling of thyme. Add rocket when pizza comes out of the (still very hot) oven.
mmm, you’re making me hungry and it’s only 8.30am!
Great site, Im starting a Gluten Free blog, working on my second cooking book.

That looks so delicious and very fresh for a pizza. Not the normal heavy fare.
It looks gorgeous and delicious!
Well, THAT is exactly what I want for my dinner. Yum, yum, YUM!
That does look like an amazing summer pizza! Love all the fresh flavors and colors.
looks absolutely delicious – I love the look of fresh rocket on a pizza – a great way to bypass the need for a side salad!
Gosh that looks good Wendy. Wonderful base and I do like a bit of rocket on pizza. Delicious.
Hi Wendy
Lovely looking pizza that, delish.
Cheers
