OK, here goes,
The sauce for the base is a cooked sauce using, 1x400gr tin tomatoes wizzed down, add garlic paste (a good teaspoon), tomato puree (1 heaped tablespoon) and italian herbs (a good table spoon), let this all heat through well, and then add a quarter teaspoon of sugar.
This is more than enough for 1 pizza, so what you don't use, when cold, put into something like ice cube trays and freeze for next time, or you can fry up some mincemeat and onions, add to sauce and hey presto, bolognese.
Pizza base:- 6 oz plain white flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon easy blend dried yeast, half teaspoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 4 fluid oz of hand hot water.
Mix all the above, knead for about 3 mins, let rise until about double the size. roll out to required size (about 10" thick crust or around 14" thin crust). Again you can increase the amounts and freeze in portion size amounts.
Construction :- Place rolled out dough onto pizza screen/tray, spread tomato sauce on base (not too heavy), add thinly cut onion, chopped peppers (a mix of green, red and yellow improves appearance), chopped mushrooms, pepperoni or the toppings of your choice, ham and pineapple is good, chicken and sweetcorn or even turkey and stuffing for a christmes pizza.
Sprinkle top with generous layer of a mix of mozzarella and mature cheddar, decorate top with slices of pepperoni or bits of ham depending on type of pizza. Now this is the bit that make the pizza smell authentic, a light dusting of the Italian herbs, place in oven pre heated to about 180 degree for around 20 mins, or until it looks cooked. Take out of oven and let stand for a couple of minutes then cut into portions. Enjoy.
