Pizza Margarita

Bring some Italian inspiration into your kitchen and make your own delicious pizza.

  • 700 gm all-purpose flour

  • 11 gm yeast

  • 5 oz fat-free skim milk

  • 10 oz water

  • 3 Tbsp olive oil

  • 1 sprays cooking spray, for greasing

  • 4 tsp dried oregano

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 4 Tbsp shredded parmesan cheese

  • 400 gm whole milk mozzarella cheese, grated or mature Cheddar

  • 12 large tomato(es)

  • 2 large tomato(es), pureed

  • Sift flour and salt into a large bowl. Stir in yeast. Heat milk and water together until hand hot. Add olive oil. Stir into flour and mix to a soft dough.

  • Turn dough onto floured worktop. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place in clean bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 50 minutes.

  • Mist pizza trays or baking sheets with spray oil. Knock back the dough, knead lightly for a few seconds. Divide into four. Roll out each piece on a floured surface to a diameter of 30 cm (12 inches). Place on prepared trays, cover loosely with damp cloths. Leave to rise for about 25 minutes.

  • Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F.

  • Spread 2 tbsp of tomato puree over each pizza base. Top with tomatoes and herbs. Season, then sprinkle each one with 4 tsp of Parmesan cheese and 100 g (3½ oz) mozzarella or Cheddar. Bake for 10 - 15 minutes until golden brown. Serve hot or cold.
