Step 1

Mix 300g of the four, the yeast, a pinch of salt, 300ml of lukewarm water and a tablespoon of oil together.

Step 2

It will be very sticky and this is perfect, you will want to cling film the top of the bowl and leave this in a cool space for around an hour ( I usually do this the day before and leave it in the fridge)

Step 3

After the dough has rested you will want to incorporate the other 150g of flour.

Step 4

Next is the tough part you have to kneed the dough thoroughly, I would suggest around 10minutes.

Step 5

Lightly oil a clean bowl and place your dough inside, drape a cloth on top and leave the bowl in a warm place for around 30 minutes

Step 6

Split the dough into 2, roll flat (it will rise during cooking) and the dough is ready.

Step 7

Simmer the passatta, garlic puree, sugar and herbs for 5 minutes. alternatively you can purchase pre made sauces.

Step 8

The trick with the topping is less is more. Add a thin covering on the pizzas with the sauce.

Step 9

Slice / tear the mozzarella and split equally between the pizzas.

Step 10

Split the pepperoni between the 2 pizzas. or any other toppings you wish to use. Make sure not to over do the quantity or you will have a soggy pizza.

Step 11

Preheat the oven at 240°c and place a large baking tray upside down in the oven.

Step 12

Once the oven has hit the temperature add only one pizza that is on a tray on top of the upside down tray. This will insure the base in cooked perfectly.

Step 13

Cook for 6-8 minutes turning halfway through
