Here's a simple pizza recipe that everyone will love - though few may associate it with the versions that you find in the freezer cabinet at the supermarket.
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.
This is a great storecupboard recipe that can be quickly prepared with a minimum of ingredients - great whenever you have unexpected guest join you for a meal.
