Method

  1. Preheat the grill to high. Put the broccoli on a baking sheet, drizzle with the oil and season. Grill for 7-8 mins, until lightly charred.
  2. Meanwhile, mix the flour, yogurt and a good pinch of salt together in a mixing bowl to form a soft dough. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-6 mins until smooth, adding a little more flour if the dough is too wet. Divide into four balls of equal size and roll into circles about ½ cm thick.
  3. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Line 2 large baking trays with nonstick baking paper and put 2 pizza bases on each tray. Divide the pesto between the bases and top with the mozzarella. Scatter over the olives, courgette and charred broccoli. Bake for 12-14 mins or until the pizzas are turning golden at the edges and the veg is tender. Scatter with the lemon zest, chilli and basil leaves to serve.
