Recipe

   1. For the dough I used a Neven Maguire recipe because I think it's easy to make and tastes delicious! Place the flour,yeast and salt in a food processor fitted with a dough attachment (or a bowl and wooden spoon if you don't have a processor). Mix the oil and warm water in a jug. With the food processor running slowly pour the oil mixture through the feeder tube and mix until you have a soft stretchy dough. Knead for 5 minutes in the machine, or knead by hand for 10 minutes.

 2. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl,rub the top with a little more oil and cover with a clean,damp tea towel. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

3. Preheat the oven to 220^oC. Punch the dough down with a clenched fist. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead for  a couple of minutes until smooth, then cut in half and roll          each half out onto a lightly floured surface to 25cm in a circle   or rectangle shape.

4. For the sauce put all the ingredients into a pot and gently simmer until the garlic is cooked.

         
 5. Now its time to make your pizza! Spread your sauce onto your pizza base leaving about a 1cm border around the edge. This part is really up to you! Choose whatever toppings you would like( I have given some suggestions in the ingredients section at the top) and decorate your pizza. Then put your pizza in the oven to cook for 10-12 minutes.

6. Now cut your pizza into slices and enjoy!
