- 100 g wholemeal bread flour
- 250 g white bread flour
- 250 ml tepid water
- 2 tsp dried fast-action yeast
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 tin of chopped tomatoes
- Handful of fresh thyme
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 1 tsp tomato puree
- 1 tsp garlic paste
- Pinch of black pepper
- Mozzarella
- Handful of basil
- Parmesan, grated
- Fresh cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 chili, chopped
- Drizzle of olive oil
Method
- STEP 1Place the flours, yeast and salt into a mixing bowl and stir. Add the water and, using your hands, form into a dough. Tip onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes or until the dough bounces back when pressed. Place back in the bowl and cover, leaving it to prove in a warm place for 1 hour.
- STEP 25 minutes before proving finishes, make the sauce. Place the tomatoes, thyme, garlic, tomato puree, garlic paste and pepper into a saucepan and stir together on a medium heat. Then leave to simmer, stirring occasionally, on a low heat whilst you prepare the dough.
- STEP 3Tip the proved dough onto a floured surface and knead very quickly. Then divide into 2 and roll out each pizza until it is 5mm thick. Place on a greased and floured baking tray.
- STEP 4Spoon out the sauce onto both pizzas and spread in a circular motion. Add the cheeses and any toppings you like and then drizzle with a little olive oil. Place in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is crispy. Enjoy!
