Step 1

Sprinkle a large baking tray with a little flour. Divide the dough into 6 portions. Take each portion and, working around the dough, pull the outside edges into the middle to make a small, tight ball of dough. Set the dough balls seam-side down on the tray, leaving space between them to expand as they rise. Cover with a light, slightly damp tea towel and set aside in a warm place to prove for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 240ºC, gas mark 9; put a pizza tray or large baking tray in to heat up. Boil a kettle. In a bowl, mix the ricotta and pecorino together. Put 60g rocket in a colander; pour over just-boiled water. Leave for 1 minute to wilt, then squeeze out any excess water. Roughly chop and add to the ricotta with the lemon zest, nutmeg and a little black pepper

Step 3

Roll a ball of dough out to about a 17cm circle. Spread some of the ricotta mixture over the dough, then tear over some mozzarella and drizzle with a little of the oil. Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Transfer to the baking tray 2 at a time and bake for 4-5 minutes, until crisp on the edges and golden. Once baked, toss the rest of the rocket leaves with the remaining oil and the lemon juice, season and scatter on top of the pizzas. Serve the pizzas as they’re ready or keep them warm under foil and reheat all together before serving.
