(makes one 12-inch pizza; estimated cost: $7, or $2 per serving)
Ingredients
2 ½ cups (12 ½ oz/355 g) all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons (7oz/187g) water
1 tablespoon olive oil ½ cup
(4 oz/115 g) tomato sauce
2 cups (6 oz/170 g) grated mozzarella cheese
2 teaspoons fresh oregano, or fresh herbs of your choice, for garnish
Toppings of your choice
Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until combined and set aside.
Combine the water and oil in a separate measuring jug.
Slowly add the water mixture to the flour, holding back a little in case you don't need it all.
Using a wooden spoon (or your hands) mix until the dough comes together into a ball. It should be soft, but not sticky. Add a splash of more water if your dough is too dry.
Lightly flour your work area and a rolling pin then roll the dough into a 12-inch circle using your hands (to make 2 smaller pizzas, divide the dough in half and roll into two 8-inch pizzas).
Transfer the pizza base to a pizza tray or large baking tray. Spoon the 5 Minute Pizza Sauce over the pizza base. Cover generously with a layer of cheese, desired toppings, and fresh oregano.
Bake the pizza for 15 to 17 minutes, or until golden brown. Slice and enjoy
put 35 minutes until they have softened and begun to caramelize.
