Ingredients

  • 120 grams strong white bread flour
  • 3.5 grams fast action dried yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon oil
  • around 80-100 ml water
  • 4 tablespoons crushed tomatoes
  • pinch garlic powder
  • pinch salt
  • pinch dried oregano
  • pinch chilli flakes
  • dash olive oil
  • 100 grams grated mozzarella cheese
  • pinch black pepper & dried oregano to garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, add bread flour, yeast and sugar. Mix well. Add the salt, oil and water and mix again until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for around 5 minutes until soft and smooth. Return the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean damp cloth and set aside at room temperature for 2 hours.

  2. Make the pizza sauce: In a bowl, add crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, salt, dried oregano, chilli flakes and olive oil. Mix well and set aside for 30 minutes.

  3. After the dough has risen, knock the air out of the dough and knead again briefly. Add two teaspoons of olive oil to a rectangular baking tray and press the dough out to completely fill the tray. Cover with lightly oiled cling film and set aside for 30 minutes.

  4. Top the pizza dough with the prepared pizza sauce. Add the grated mozzarella cheese and put the pan on top of the preheated pizza stone at the highest temperature your oven will allow (typically 240c). Bake the pizza for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese is golden and the crust is nicely coloured.

  5. Remove the cooked pizza from the oven and garnish with a little black pepper and dried oregano. Slice into squares and serve.
