Recipe Tips

Do not put too much sauce and toppings on the pizza dough, as you risk the pizza base becoming soggy and it will not crisp up in the oven
You can also use pre-made ready to roll pizza dough for this recipe to cheat and save time! Check the cooking instructions and the packet as cooking times will vary.
The best type of tomatoes for pizza sauce are canned San Marzano Tomatoes from Italy which you can find in most supermarkets or online.
For a richer cheese taste, you can substitute the mozzarella cheese for mature cheddar cheese
