Prosciutto, Ricotta & Honey Pizza – Recipe
Straight out of Taranaki, Egmont Honey is a family business that’s appropriately named after the towering mountain that overlooks the entire region. After years of successfully exporting its Manuka to the world, they decided to share the honey love with fellow Kiwis. Now available in Countdown Supermarkets, Egmont Honey has two extremely popular varieties on offer – a delicious Lemon ‘N Honey and a Raw Honey.

METHOD
- In a bowl, combine the warm water, sugar and yeast. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.

Season and top evenly with the mozzarella cheese. Return to the oven for a further 20 minutes or until the base is golden and the cheese has melted.
