Serves 4

1 portion basic pizza dough
250g cherry tomatoes, halved
25g unsalted butter
3 tbsp fresh basil
12 baby mozzarella balls
Freshly ground salt and pepper

1 Divide the dough into four pieces and roll out into circles about 1cm thick. Leave to rest while you prepare the filling.

2 Preheat the oven to 210C/Gas 7.

3 Place the tomatoes and butter in a pan and cook over a gentle heat for 5 minutes. Season well. Spoon into the centre of the dough and scatter over the basil. Place the cheese on top of the tomato sauce and carefully fold over the dough.

4 Pinch the edges of the dough together and transfer to a nonstick baking tray. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the dough is crisp and golden. Allow to rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
