- Put the lukewarm water, together with the yeast, in a large bowl. Stir in the olive oil and salt.
- Finally, add the flour and scoop well.
- Sprinkle your hands and the worktop with flour and knead everything with your hands until the dough is soft and smooth.
- Put the dough back in the bowl, cover with a damp towel and let the dough rise for 40 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the ingredients of the rocket-pesto in a food processor.
- Take the dough from the bowl. Roll out with a rolling pin to a round pizza shape and place it on baking paper.
- Cover the bottom with half of the pesto, a tablespoon of crème fraiche and rings of red onion.
- Apply olive oil to the edges and bake the pizza for 20-25 minutes in the oven.
- Cut the halloumi into cubes and fry the halloumi briefly on high heat.
- Remove the pizza from the oven, spread with remaining pesto and crème fraiche and sprinkle with halloumi and rocket. Easy and delicious. Enjoy!
