Method

step 1

Tip the tomatoes, 1 tbsp olive oil, the garlic and rosemary sprigs into a small saucepan over a low-medium heat. Season and simmer gently for 15 mins until thickened.
step 2

Divide the leftover dough into two equal pieces, and roll each one out on a lightly oiled surface into a 20cm circle. Rub both sides of the dough with a little olive oil.
step 3

Heat an ovenproof skillet, griddle or frying pan over a high heat until very hot. Heat the grill to high. Carefully put one dough circle into the hot pan and cook for 5 mins. As it cooks, spread half the tomato sauce over the top and scatter over half the mozzarella. Slide under the hot grill for 3-4 mins until the cheese has melted and the dough is cooked through, with a dark golden crust. Repeat to make a second pizza. Scatter the basil over both before serving.

Premium tip
Making your own pizza bases is much better value than buying them. A cheat’s version, like this dough that doesn't need to be left to rise, can be made in minutes.

Dough recipe to make 4 pizzas:

300g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
150ml natural yogurt
vegetable oil, for kneading

Combine the flour, baking powder, yogurt, ½ tsp salt and 3-4 tbsp water in a large bowl. Bring together until you have a soft dough, then knead briefly on an oiled surface until soft and smooth.
