    If making your own pizza sauce

    • 2 tbsp olive oil
    • 1 small onion finely chopped
    • 1 fat garlic clove crushed
    • 2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
    • 3 tbsp tomato purée
    • 1 bay leaf
    • 2 tbsp dried oregano
    • 2 tsp brown sugar
    • 1 small bunch basil finely chopped

    Here's how it's done…

    Step 1

    Heat the oil in a saucepan over a low heat, then add the onion with a pinch of salt. Fry gently for 12-15 mins or until the onion has softened and is turning translucent. Add the garlic and fry for a further minute. Add tomatoes and purée, bay, oregano and sugar. Bring to the boil and lower the heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 30-35 mins or until thickened and reduced. Season. For a really smooth sauce, blitz with a stick blender.



    Step 2

    Stir the basil into the sauce. The sauce will cover 4-6 large pizza bases. Can be frozen or kept in the fridge for up to 1 week.

    To make the pizzas -

    Step 1

    Dust your hands and counter top with flour. Stretch your dough to make a round pizza shape, using your fingers to flatten the centre, leaving a 1 inch crust around the edge. You want the base to be approximately 1/2 inch thick and the diameter 10 - 12 inches.



    Step 2

    Sprinkle pizza peel with cornmeal and transfer flattened dough to the peel.

    Add a generous spoonful of pizza sauce to the base, sprinkle with cheese, and place your desired toppings on the pizza. Be careful not to overload the pizza with too many toppings, or the pizza will be soggy.



    Step 3

    Add some cornmeal to the baking stone in the oven, slide the pizza off the pizza peel onto the baking stone. Bake for 5 minutes, until the crust is brown and cheese melted.
