Cooking instructions
-
Start by preparing your pizza dough, recipe here
-
Take one dough ball and place onto a hard surface that’s been dusted with flour and semolina
-
Push down on the dough with your hands and stretch out into an even round flat shape. Do not touch the edges too much, as they need to remain thicker to form a crust
-
Place your pizza base onto a pizza baking tray (10-12 inches)
-
Spread the tomato passata over the base and top evenly with generous slices of mozzarella
-
Cook the pizza in the oven at 220C for 8-12 minutes, until the crust is crisp & golden
-
Decorate with whole basil leaves
-
Brush the crust with olive oil and enjoy!
