Pizza
- 225 g self-raising flour
- 2 tablespoon olive oil

Pizza Toppings

Instructions
Pizza Sauce
- Gently heat the olive oil in an oven proof frying pan / skillet. Add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft then stir in the garlic for a few seconds being careful not to burn.
- Add the tin chopped tomatoes, simmer until thickened for about 10-15 minutes then season the sauce with the salt and pepper. Remove the sauce to a bowl. Wipe the pan dry.
Pizza
- Sieve the flour into a large bowl and mix in the olive oil. Gradually add the water to form a soft dough.
- Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it a little. Scatter a little flour over the work surface and using a rolling pin, roll out the pizza to the size of your oven proof frying pan / skillet.
- Place the rolled-out dough into the pan and gently dry fry over a medium heat for about 5 minutes until the bottom browns a little then turn over and cook for about another 5 minutes.
- Turn on the grill to a medium temperature.
- Spread your tomato sauce** over the base. Scatter the mozzarella over.
- Place the oven proof frying pan / skillet under a grill and grill for 4 - 5 minutes until mozzarella has melted. Remove and scatter a few torn basil leaves over.
- Remove from pan onto a wooden board to slice and serve.
Notes
* If you don't have time to make your own you could just buy a jar of pizza sauce. But I seriously recommend making your own as it doesn't contain all the additives a shop bought ones does and the nutritional label will be invalid.
** Any leftover homemade tomato sauce can be stored in your fridge for up to a week in a sealed jar or can be frozen.
