Method

  1. Add all the ingredients for the tomato sauce to a pot, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon.
  2. Reduce by 1/3, season to taste.
  3. You can choose to make the dough or use pitta breads or a pre-bought base/loaf as the base for the pizza.
  4. If you choose to make the dough: Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  5. Add the yeast, oil, and water to a mixing bowl.
  6. Stir to dissolve the yeast. Don’t worry if the oil is sitting on top of the liquid.
  7. Add the flour, semolina, and salt.
  8. Turn on the mixer, or knead by hand, until the dough is smooth, and all the ingredients are incorporated.
  9. Continue to knead for 7-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  10. Place the dough on a baking tray and stretch out until about 1cm thick.
  11. Place in a warm place to prove until doubled in size.
  12. Use your fingers to make dimples, again, trying to keep in as much air as possible.
  13. Cover with the tomato sauce.
  14. Sprinkle over the basil, the Plant-Based Alternative to Camembert pieces and the Nurishh Cheddar & Mozzarella Style grated Blend.
  15. Bake at 200°C for 20-25 mins until golden brown.
  16. Check the base to ensure it is cooked and crispy.

…and enjoy!
