Leave somewhere warm for about an hour, until doubled in size.

Turn the oven to 250 °C, or as hot as it goes, and let it heat fully.

Peel off the cling film and press down on the dough with your knuckles to knock out the air.


Cut the dough in half with the scraper and shape each half into a ball.


Press and stretch it out with your fingertips into a round about 28 cm across, leaving the edge a little thicker.

Put the second dough ball on a second baking tray.

Spread the rest of the sauce over the second base the same way.

A marinara pizza featuring a simple tomato topping enhanced with minced garlic and fresh basil on a crisp, homemade crust.
What you’ll doYou will mix and knead a yeasted dough, let it rise, then divide it and stretch two bases on trays. Finely chopped plum tomatoes are drained and mixed with oregano, spread over the bases, topped with sliced garlic and olive oil and baked in a very hot oven, then finished with torn basil.
