Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the mascarpone with a pinch of salt and pepper to loosen it.

Tip: If the cheese is at room temperature, it is easier to work with.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough and spread with the mascarpone cream.

Tip: This is now the 'sauce', no tomato underneath needed. Leave a rim!
3 ✓

Slice the tomato thinly and lay on the cream.

Tip: Tomato juices mix with mascarpone during baking, forming a delicious emulsion.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with Parmesan and oregano.

Tip: Parmesan adds salty character alongside neutral mascarpone.
5 ✓

Drizzle with a little oil and bake at 220°C for 12 minutes.

Tip: Check that the dough bottom bakes through; rich toppings can hinder this.
6 ✓

Garnish with fresh basil after baking.

Tip: Essential for visual appeal and scent.

Recipe FAQ

Doesn't the mascarpone run?
It does if you put too much on. Mascarpone becomes liquid with heat, so use in dots or spread thinly.
What if I find it too rich?
Mascarpone is a fatty cheese. Counterbalance with acidic tomato or fresh rocket salad on top.
