Cherry Tomato And Bocconcini Pizza - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Pizza Dough
    1 teaspoon active dry yeast
    1/4 teaspoon caster sugar
    3/4 cup water, lukewarm temperature
    1 1/2 cups plain flour
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    Topping
    32 cherry tomatoes
    1/4 cup oregano leaves, freshly chopped
    sea salt, to taste
    black pepper, freshly cracked to taste
    1 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
    1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
    180 g bocconcini, drained and torn
    100 g baby rocket, to serve
Preparation
    To make the dough, place the yeast, sugar and water in a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside in a warm place for 5 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface.
    Place the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the yeast mixture and oil stirring with a butter knife until a dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
    Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes or until the dough is doubled in size.
    Preheat the oven to 230oC/450oF/Gas 5.
    For the topping, place the tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper in a bowl and crush with a potato masher. Divide the dough into four and roll out each portion to a 14cm/5.5 inch round. Place on greasy baking trays and top each pizza with mozzarella, parmesan, bocconcini and tomato mixture and cook for 10-15 minutes or until golden and crispy.
    Top with rocket to serve.
