Method

Sift the flour into a large bowl and mix the yeast with warm water until foaming.

Combine the yeast mixture with flour to form a dough and rest for five minutes.

Add salt to the dough and knead on a floured surface for ten minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and prove for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to its highest setting and knock back the dough by kneading briefly.

Press the dough into two 40cm circles and place onto floured baking sheets.

Spread seasoned tomatoes over the bases and top with basil, mozzarella, and oil.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the base is crisp and cheese is bubbling.
