- Add the olive oil and knead again.
- Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and allow it to prove till it doubles in volume (approx. 15 to 20 minutes).
- Press the dough lightly to remove the air. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts.
- Roll out each portion of the dough into an oval that is approx. 6 mm. (1/4") thick and about 150 mm. (6") long. Prick with a fork at regular intervals.
- Place the oval pizza bases on a greased baking tray.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 10 minutes or until the base is evenly browned. Allow it to cool.
- Just before serving, toss the greens and vegetables in the dressing mixture.
- Put this salad on top of the pizza bases. Sprinkle on top with parmesan cheese.
- Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

The proportion of the pesto and mayonnaise in the dressing mixed with the crunchy topping is just perfect...neither pungent nor creamy.It tastes great on the herbed pizza base.
