Classic Pizza Recipe

by James Tanner

Ingredients
For the base
2 cups of plain flour
2 tsp salt
olive oil, to blend
For the topping
2 tsp tomato puree
½ yellow pepper, de-seeded and sliced

3. On a floured surface, roll the dough out to form a circle shape.
4. Place the base onto a greased, non-stick baking sheet.
5. Spread the tomato puree onto the base. Scatter the pepper slices over the pizza.
6. Sprinkle the grated cheese over and scatter the shredded basil leaves over the top.
7. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is crispy and the cheese has melted and is golden and bubbling.
