Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 240C (220C fan, gas 9) with 2 large baking trays inside.
- 2
Coarsely grate the halloumi, tear the mozzarella into small pieces, pat dry with kitchen paper and mix with the sesame seeds. Lebanese bakeries use akkawi cheese; this mix gives the same salty stretch.
- 3
Divide the ready-made pizza dough into 4 and stretch each piece on a surface dusted with the plain flour into a round about 20cm across. Brush the edges with the olive oil.
- 4
Scatter the cheese over the rounds, leaving a thin border, slide onto baking paper on the hot trays and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the edges golden.
- 5
Serve hot with the sliced tomatoes, cucumber and mint leaves to fold inside.
