Introduction
A quick and inventive yeast-free pan pizza made with self-raising flour, featuring a pesto-stuffed crust and crisp base cooked in a frying pan. It is finished under the grill and topped with dressed courgette ribbons and spicy cottage cheese dollops for a fresh, zesty contrast.
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine self-raising flour, a pinch of sea salt, olive oil, and warm water. Stir until a soft dough begins to come together.
Step 2
Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead briefly until smooth and pliable.
Step 3
Roll out the dough into a thin circle sized to fit your ovenproof frying pan.
Step 4
Spoon green pesto along the outer perimeter of the dough, then fold the edges inward over the pesto to create a stuffed crust.
Step 5
Spray or drizzle olive oil into a cold, ovenproof frying pan and place over medium-high heat. Carefully transfer the dough into the pan and press it into the corners.

Important Notes
Using self-raising flour eliminates the need for yeast and proofing time, making it ideal for a quick meal.
Ensure the frying pan used is completely ovenproof and safe to place under the broiler/grill.
Checking the undercarriage of the pizza on the stovetop is essential to achieve a crunchy, well-cooked base before grilling the top.
