Serves: 4
Ready in: 55mins
Syns per serving: 7
Ingredients:
Method:
• 125g strong bread flour
1. Put all the topping ingredients apart from the mozzarella and basil in a saucepan, season to taste and cook over a medium-low heat for 25-30 minutes or until you have a thick, spreadable sauce.
• 7g sachet instant active yeast
2. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas 6 and heat through a baking sheet or, better still, a pizza stone – this will help your pizza to cook evenly. 3. Put the flour in a large bowl and stir in the yeast and 1 tsp salt. Make a well in the middle, pour in 75ml of warm water and mix with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough. Dust a surface very lightly with flour (1 level tsp is ½ Syn), turn out the dough and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin circle about 22cm across. 4. Put your rolled-out base on the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet (add a sheet of non-stick baking parchment if you’re using a baking sheet). Spoon the tomato sauce over the base and arrange the mozzarella on top. 5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the base is golden. Scatter over the basil and serve hot with a rocket salad.
For the topping: • 4 shallots, finely chopped • 3 garlic cloves, crushed • 1 tsp dried red chilli flakes • 2 tsp dried oregano • 400g can chopped tomatoes • 1 tbsp tomato purée • 70g reduced-fat mozzarella cheese, cubed or sliced • Small handful of torn fresh basil leaves, to serve
