You will need:
For the Dough:
300g Strong bread flour
7g dried yeast
200ml warm water
1tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp salt
For the Sauce:
400g Chopped Tomato
1 tsp Oregano
0.5 tsp Garlic Granules
Toppings:
125g Mozzarella
70g Pepperoni (or your topping of choice)
Method:
1. Firstly in a bowl, mix together the flour and your salt.
2. Then add your yeast and stir.
3. Then add the warm water and olive oil and mix until it forms a dough. You want the water to be about body temperature.
4. On a floured surface start to knead the dough. You will need to knead the dough for a total of 10 minutes. Once kneaded the dough should be smooth and elastic. Of you can use a dough hook on a mixer for 10 minutes.
5. Leave your dough to rise in an oiled bowl that has been covered either with an oiled piece of clingfilm or a clean tea towel. You will need to leave your dough to rise for 45mins to an hour or until doubled in size in a warm place.
6. Then to make your sauce, in a saucepan over a low heat, add your chopped tomatoes, oregano and garlic granules and stir until well combined. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until thickened.
7. Then to construct your pizza. On a floured surface knock the dough back for a couple of minutes.
8. Then divide your dough into 2 pieces. Roll each out until about 9 inches wide.
9. Then put on a floured baking tray. Spread the sauce over both pizza bases. Then top with your chosen toppings (I used pepperoni)
10. Then bake in a pre-heated oven at Gas Mark 8, 240C or 220C fan assisted for 10-15 mins.
