Method
- Heat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Put a large flat baking sheet that will fit both pizza bases in the oven to heat up.
- Fry the bacon over a medium heat for 5 mins until crisp. Remove from the pan and set aside. Add the mushrooms to the pan and fry for 5 mins until golden. Season with pepper and add half the garlic and fry for 1 min. Mix the crème fraiche with the remaining garlic and black pepper. Finely chop the mozzarella.
- Place the pizza bases on the hot baking tray. Divide the crème fraiche mixture between the pizza bases and spread out evenly, leaving a 1cm border around the edges.
- Top the pizzas with the bacon and mushrooms, then scatter over the mozzarella and the Cheddar. Cook for 9-10 mins until the cheese is bubbling and the bacon is golden and crisp. Scatter with the rocket just before serving. Serve any remaining rocket alongside, drizzled with a little olive oil.
