'Tomato whim' – cheese and tomato pizza

Method

1
If making at home without a pizza oven, preheat a fan oven to 250°C
2
Stretch and shape one 250g ball of pizza dough into a disc, leaving the edges slightly thicker than the centre
3
Evenly distribute the mozzarella and Grana Padano all over the pizza
4
Arrange some sun-dried tomatoes and yellow plum tomatoes over the surface of the pizza and cook in the oven for about 90 seconds (or in the fan oven for 6–7 minutes)
5
Remove from the oven, drizzle over some extra virgin olive oil and serve with some more shavings of Grana Padano
