Pizza

Ingredients

• Pizza dough
• Tomato sauce
• Mozzarella
• Basil
• Olive oil
• Salt

How to make it

1. Stretch dough gently by hand. Prepare this first and keep the heat moderate; rushing the first stage usually gives uneven texture later.
2. Add tomato, mozzarella and a little oil. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
3. Bake as hot as possible until blistered. Bake in a fully preheated oven, usually 190-220C, until the top is golden and the center is hot; start checking after 20 minutes for pastries and after 45 minutes for larger roasts.
4. Finish with basil and serve immediately. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.
