Italian Pizza Recipe



Traditional Italian Pizza (Neopolitan style)

Ingredients

500g Bread
Mix (Ciabatta or
Mixed Grain are my personal preferences) 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 clove garlic, finely chopped or crushed 1 can chopped tomatoes Salt & freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons oregano 4 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin if you have it)

Putting this pizza together takes around 20-25 minutes, including preparing the topping.


Preheat oven to 220C, GM8 Prepare the bread
Mix, as per packet instructions

Heat the oil in a saucepan Add the crushed garlic and fry gently for just a few seconds (do not overcook or it can become bitter) Add the can of chopped tomatoes, reserving some of the liquid Cover & simmer for 15-20 minutes

If you make this topping ahead of time, the flavours get even better

Season Grease a baking tray with oil Spread out the prepared dough, right to the edges of the tray Spoon out the tomato
Mix over the dough, as close to the edges as you can Sprinkle with the oregano and drizzle with the remaining oil Bake in hot oven for 10-15 minutes Serve hot!

If you love cheese or pepperoni you can add them on top, but it really isn't necessary, the flavours in this are lovely and fresh all on their own.
