Serves
2 - 4
Ingredients
To make your own pizza dough: (alternatively purchase ready made)
1 Tablespoon of Dried Yeast
A Pinch of Salt
140ml Warm Water
180g Strong Plain Flour
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
For the topping:
1 Tablespoon of Dried Basil
Pepperoni Slices
1 Tin of Chopped Tomatoes
2 Tablespoons of Tomato Puree
Grated Cheddar or Mozzarella
1 Chopped Onion
2 Cloves of Garlic sliced thinly
Handful of green olives sliced
2 tomatoes thinly sliced
Method
If you are braving the pizza base, you need to start by mixing the salt and yeast together in a jug with the water. Place flour in a bowl, make a well in the centre and add the water mixture along with the oil.
Use a wooden spoon to mix everything to create a wet dough. Put on floured surface and need for 5mins.
Place in greased bowl and cover with tea towel. Leave at room temperature to rise for 30mins (should double in size).
Using a knife, draw a heart shape in the dough and when you're happy with your efforts, cut it out using a pizza cutter.
Place onto a pizza baking tray and stab with a fork several times.
For the pizza topping, spread tomato puree over the base. Add chopped tomatoes on top then add onion, olives, tomatoes and garlic.
Sprinkle over cheese and arrange Pepperoni. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle on basil.
Place on oiled baking sheets.
Cook at 200° for 20mins.
Serve with green Italian salad.
