Directions

Make the base according to the package instructions, using both packets to make a double amount of dough.

The dough can be plain, but for a more flavorful pizza, add your chosen flavouring from the flavour choices in the ingredients list before any liquid is added.

Roll into 1 large pizza dough or 2 smaller ones, sit on a baking sheet and leave to rise in a warm place.

While the dough is rising, you can continue working on the tomato sauce and toppings.

To make the tomato sauce:

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan and gently cook the onion and garlic for 7 to 9 minutes until softened.

Stir in the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 10 minutes until it turns into a thick, spreadable sauce.

Season with salt and pepper, then remove the bay leaf.

Preheat the oven to 425F/220C/Gas 7.

Spread a generous amount of tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough(s), leaving a 1cm (½-inch) gap around the edge.

Add your favourite toppings (see above for some choices), drizzle with olive oil, then arrange in the oven for about 18 minutes or until the pizza crust is crisp and the topping is golden.

Cool for a few minutes and serve warm.
