Ingredients

1 loaf Turkish bread

1/3 cup basil pesto

60g baby rocket

200g sliced prosciutto (about 12 slices)

2 yellow peaches, thinly sliced

1/3 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons hot honey

CHILLI HONEY RICOTTA

500g smooth ricotta

1 tablespoon hot honey

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind

1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes (optional)

Sea-salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper, to season

Method

Step 1

To make the chilli honey ricotta, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season to taste.

Step 2

Cut Turkish bread crossways into four equal portions, then cut each portion in half horizontally.

Step 3

Spread the bases with chilli ricotta and the top sections with pesto. Top the ricotta with rocket, prosciutto, peaches and basil leaves. Drizzle with honey. Sandwich with the tops, pesto-side down.

Cook’s tips

For a change, toast the Turkish bread under the grill before assembling. If you don’t like chilli, switch the hot honey for regular honey and omit the chilli flakes. Turkish bread can be replaced with focaccia or sourdough, if you prefer.
