Pizza Express Margherita

Recipes :

150ml Water

1 tsp Sugar

15g Yeast

225g Plain Flour

1 1/2 tsp Salt

Drizzle Olive Oil

Drizzle Passata

80g Passata

70g Oregano

Leaves Basil

Pinch Black Pepper

Instructions :

  • 1 Preheat the oven to 230°C.
  • 2 Add the sugar and crumble the fresh yeast into warm water.
  • 3 Allow the mixture to stand for 10 – 15 minutes in a warm place (we find a windowsill on a sunny day works best) until froth develops on the surface.
  • 4 Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl, make a well in the middle and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
  • 5 Lightly flour your hands, and slowly mix the ingredients together until they bind.
  • 6 Generously dust your surface with flour.
  • 7 Throw down the dough and begin kneading for 10 minutes until smooth, silky and soft.
  • 8 Place in a lightly oiled, non-stick baking tray (we use a round one, but any shape will do!)
  • 9 Spread the passata on top making sure you go to the edge.
  • 10 Evenly place the mozzarella (or other cheese) on top, season with the oregano and black pepper, then drizzle with a little olive oil.
  • 11 Cook in the oven for 10 – 12 minutes until the cheese slightly colours.
  • 12 When ready, place the basil leaf on top and tuck in!
