Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 300 g all-purpose flour
  • 4 g active dry yeast
  • 220 ml lukewarm water 1 cup + 2 tablespoons
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp olive oil for the dough
  • 1 tbsp olive oil to grease the pan

Topping Ingredients

  • 300 g diced canned tomatoes
  • 3 leaves basil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch black pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 20 g parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 200 g Mozzarella cheese 7 oz
  • 1 handful fresh basil

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dough. Use a spoon or a spatula to stir them together to get an even dough.
  • Cover the dough with cling film or a bag. Place in the fridge and leave to proof for 12 - 18 hours or at room temperature for 4 hours until tripled in size.
  • Grease a 25 cm x 30 cm (10-inch x 12-inch) sheet pan with olive oil. Using a greased spoon, stir and fold the dough a few times.
  • Transfer the proofed dough into the sheet pan. Using greased fingers, gently spread the dough evenly over the baking dish. Set aside for 1 - 2 hours for the dough to proof and become light and airy.
  • Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 230 °C / 445 °F.

Sauce Preparation

  • Place a sieve over a bowl. Add canned diced tomatoes and drain them.
  • Discard the liquid and add the drained tomatoes to a bowl.
  • Add basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Using an immersion blender or a blender, mix into a smooth tomato sauce.
  • Press your fingers into the dough to make it airy and delicious. Add two large ladles of tomato sauce and a few basil leaves, arranging evenly all over the dough.

Baking

  • Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes at 230 °C / 445 °F.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle the shredded Parmesan all over the sauce.
  • Shred half of the mozzarella into large pieces and grate the rest. Arrange all over the pizza dough.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 12 - 15 minutes at 210 °C / 410 °F.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
  • Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve.
