Classic Pizza Margherita 2 x 14 inch Pizzas INGREDIENTS The dough: Oven Temp: 200ºC 35687 Alfina s Pure Olive Oil 20ml 666710 Arco Pizza Flour 1.2kg Fresh yeast 7g 172323 Smart Choice Caster Sugar 5g Fine salt 20g Water 700ml The topping: 19782 Smart Choice Whole Peeled Italian Tomatoes 800g 172465 Smart Choice Flaky Sea Salt 10g 35687 Alfina s Pure Olive Oil 10ml 172738 Smart Choice Cracked Pepper 5g 172102 Smart Choice Oregano 10g 172226 Smart Choice Grated Mozzarella Cheese 600g 80g Fresh basil leaves (whole or chopped) METHOD 1. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and oil in room temperature water. On a sanitised bench make a well in the flour and sprinkle with the salt and sugar. 2. Pour the water-oil-yeast mixture into the flour and start to stir with the help of a fork until it begins to become a batter. Keep stirring until thick enough to knead with your hands. Work the dough until it is smooth. 3. Divide the dough in two, grease two oven trays with olive oil and spread out the dough on them (it can be helpful to oil the hands as well to avoid the dough being sticky). Push the dough into the corner of the tray. Thinner is best as it rises when proving. 4. Cover with a clean kitchen cloth and set aside in a warm place (about 35 C) for about an hour. 5. Preheat the oven to 200 C. 6. Place the drained tomatoes in a blender and pulse, keep a bit chunky, season with salt, pepper, olive oil, oregano and mix. 7. After the pizza dough has doubled in size, spread the tomato sauce evenly. 8. Cook the pizza for 20 minutes and take out, sprinkle with mozzarella and back in the oven for a further 10 minutes, or until golden brown. 9. Arrange basil leaves on top and serve.
