Servings Makes 2 medium pizzas
Prep Time 35 minutes

Directions

  1. Step 1 In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

  1. Step 2 In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

  1. Step 3 Get a hand into the mixture and bring the ingredients together until a rough dough forms. Either knead the mixture on a lightly floured surface or use the dough hook in an electric mixture and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Roll the dough into two balls and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  1. Step 4 Preheat the oven to the highest setting with a pizza stone inside if you’ve got it, or fire up the pizza oven if you have one.

  1. Step 5 Roll out one of the dough balls into a circle of approx 10-12 inches on a floured surface. Add a couple of spoonfuls of passata, using the back of a tablespoon to gently spread out with a cm gap around the edge. Add all the cheeses, then fire it into your oven. It’ll take approximately 8-12 minutes if using a conventional oven, or 2-3 minutes in a pizza oven.

  1. Step 6 Remove the pizza from the heat, place on a chopping board and top with charcuterie before garnishing with rocket. Serve with a jar of bacon jam to dip the crusts into. Heaven.
