Ingredients

Base

3 1/2 cup high grade flour

3 teaspoon yeast granules

1/4 teaspoon sugar

1 cup warm water

2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoon olive oil

Topping

400 gram crushed tomatoes

2 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

2 tablespoon tomato paste

1 teaspoon sugar

200 gram shaved ham

1 cup grated mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

Method

1.Sift 3 1/4 cups flour into a bowl and make a well in the centre by pushing the flour to the side of the bowl and leaving a hole in the centre.

2.Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water and pour into the well, mix a little and then sprinkle over the salt and olive oil.

3.Mix the dough into a ball and knead for 7 minutes, adding extra flour if dough gets too sticky. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover.

4.Place the bowl in a warm place and leave for 1 1/2 hours or until dough has doubled in size.

5.Meanwhile, place tomatoes, garlic, oregano, tomato paste and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until sauce has thickened and reduced. Set aside to cool.

6.Preheat oven to 220C. Roll the dough out into 2 circles approximately 28cm in diameter and place on oiled pizza pans or oven trays. Cover with cooled tomato sauce. Top with shaved ham and then scatter with grated cheeses.

7.Cook for 12 to 15 minutes until base is golden and crisp and cheese melted and bubbling. Many cake mixers have a dough hook attachment that will do the kneading for you.
