Simple Plant-Based Pizza

Instructions

Dough

Add the flour, yeast and sugar to a bowl. In a jug, measure 150ml of cold water and 150ml of boiling water and mix. Add the oil and one teaspoon of salt to the water then pour over the flour. Stir the mixture with a spoon then knead the mixture together to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. (If the dough is too sticky, add a splash of cold water).

On a clean work surface dusted with flour, knead the dough for 10 minutes, place back in the mixing bowl, cover and leave to rise until doubled in size (around an hour).

Heat the oven to 220C or 200C for fan assisted ovens and place a pizza tray on the top shelf to heat up. Knock the dough back by punching with your fist then knead on a floured surface.

Sauce

In a clean bowl, combine the passata, oregano and garlic, season with salt and pepper and mix.

On a floured surface, divide the dough into 2 - 4 pieces, shape into balls, roll out the dough as thin as you can. Place the dough on to a pizza tray, spread 4-5 tablespoons of sauce on top, add cheese (and any other toppings that need cooking) and add to the oven on top of the preheated tray. Cook for 10 - 12 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
