And for the topping -

250ml ready made pizza sauce

(or alternatively blend together 50ml tomato puree, 200ml tomato juice, a handful of basil leaves, 1 clove of garlic, 1 tbsp olive oil and pinch of salt and pepper)

120g mozzarella, thinly sliced

(makes one 14-inch pizza)

In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt and yeast. Make a well in the middle and gradually work in the water and olive oil to make a soft dough that comes away clean from the bowl. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a floured surface. Coat the dough ball in olive oil and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours in a losely covered large bowl. When risen, place on a lightly floured surface and roll out with a rolling pin to a 14-inch circle.

Spoon the pizza sauce over the base and arrange the sliced mozzarella on top. Bake in a preheated oven (220 °C / 425 °F) for 20 minutes. Serve.
