10g (1 sachet) instant yeast

5ml (1 tsp) caster sugar

2.5ml (½ tsp) salt

30ml (2 tbsp) olive oil, plus extra

Method:

1) Combine the flour, yeast, caster sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the oil and water and mix to form a soft dough.

7) Spread a little olive oil over each base, then divide the mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan and blueberries between the bases, spreading evenly.

8) Bake for about 15 minutes or until the cheese starts to bubble.

9) Remove from the oven, top with prosciutto, avocado and basil and serve immediately.
