This stovetop pizza is a weeknight genius. Flavoursome, family-friendly and ready in ten minutes - that's a whole lot faster than home delivery!

1 thin pizza base (we used a woodfired pizza base)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup (130g) tomato and basil pasta sauce
125g mozzarella, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons salted capers, rinsed, drained
2 tablespoons basil pesto
4 slices prosciutto, torn
Basil leaves, to serve

Method

1.

Heat a large frypan with a lid over medium heat. Brush both sides of the pizza base with oil, then place, upside-down, in the frypan. Cover with a lid and cook for 2 minutes, then flip over.
2.

Spread the pasta sauce over the pizza base, then scatter over mozzarella and capers. Season. Cover with the lid, reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook for a further 5-6 minutes until the cheese has melted and the base is crisp.
3.

Slide pizza onto a board, drizzle over the pesto and scatter with prosciutto and basil leaves to serve.
