Step 1: Base Ingredients

I've used the new tomato sauce base mix for this recipe and I must say it's something I'm going to stick, it's pretty quick and easy and the results are well worth the little extra work, you'll love it.

Pizza base mix

I've used the new recipe for the base, which includes bread flour and a packet of dried yeast, rather than the self raising flour.

• 225g Strong Plain Flour
• 1/2tsp salt
• 1 (6/7g) sachet of easy blend yeast
• 150ml warm water
• 30ml (2 tablespoons) olive oil

Dough Ball

Mix the dough, knead for a few mins and leave it to rise in a warm place until it's doubled in size.

Knead it for a few more minutes and roll it out.

Use a sharp knife to cut the round pizza base into a heart shape.

Toppings

Add the toppings of your choice. Since this is a valentines pizza I've added

• Red peppers
• red onion
• red jalapenos
• cherry tomatoes (halved)
• mushroom and
• lots of grated cheese.

Whack it in the Oven

Pop it in the oven (gas mark 7, or 220) until done. (pre heat the oven), I must say it looks good enough to eat :)

Suggestions

Now curl up on the sofa with a DVD, a drink, your special valentine partner and have a nice night in.

Or have a girly night and play some bingo online.
