Forget ordering a takeaway, make your own perfect pizza at home! Recipe includes the dough and a juicy tomato sauce.
AuthorgooeygraciousmeCategoryItalianMix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt together in a large bowl and stir in the oil. Gradually add the water and mix well to form a soft dough.
Turn the dough out on to a floured surface and knead until smooth. Transfer to a clean bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rise for about 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to its highest setting. Divide the dough into 3 balls and roll each out on a lightly floured work surface.
Spread homemade tomato sauce (recipe below) over each pizza base and top with your favourite toppings. For the pizza toppings we used: chillies, peppers, sweetcorn, onions, pineapples, mushrooms, jalapenos, olives, spinach and cheese.
Bake the pizzas in the oven for 30 minutes minutes until the bases are crisp and golden brown around the edges.
For the tomato sauce, heat the oil in a saucepan over a low heat, then add onion and cook until the onion has softened. Add the garlic and fry for another minute.
Add the tomatoes and tomato puree along with the salt, sugar, oregano, mixed herbs and cinnamon powder and simmer for 20 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
Blitz the sauce in a blender to create a smooth texture and then stir the basil into the sauce. Sauce is now ready to be added onto the pizza dough.
