Method

Remove the pizza dough from the fridge and leave for 10 mins while you prepare your toppings. Heat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into thin rounds.
Unravel the pizza dough, keeping it on its baking paper, and transfer to a baking sheet. Prick the base with a fork and spoon over the pesto, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon, leaving a 1cm border around the edge. Add the sweet potato and pepperoni in an alternating pattern just slightly overlapping. Scatter over the cheese.
Bake for 20-25 mins until the cheese is melted and bubbling, the sweet potato is tender, and the pizza dough is puffed and is golden. Serve with the rocket alongside.
