Flatbread pizza dough:

• 1 cup natural unsweetened yoghurt
• 2 tsp runny honey (optional)
• Generous pinch of salt
• ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
• Water, as needed

Venison mince:

• 500g New Zealand farm raised venison mince
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Italian herb seasoning
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1. Preheat the oven to 230°C. Alternatively, use a pizza oven.
2. For the flatbread pizza dough: combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Add water if needed. Turn out onto a floured bench and knead, then roll out two flatbread pizzas. Transfer to lined baking trays, cover, and leave in a warm place while you prepare the venison.
3. For the venison mince: add oil to a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add remaining ingredients and fry until browned, about 3—5 minutes.
4. Slather flatbread pizza dough with pesto, top with venison mince, courgette and mozzarella. Bake for 10—15 minutes, until the base is crispy and the mozzarella is deliciously melted.
5. Serve with fresh basil and chilli flakes (optional).
