Directions

1. Measure 150ml of cold water and 150ml boiling water into a jug and mix them together – this will mean your water is a good temperature for the yeast.

2. Meanwhile the yeast activate, put the 500 g SoDelishUs® Flour Mix, the 1 tbsp salt and 2 tbsp olive oil into a mixing bowl or a stand mixer.

   

3. Stir well with a spoon then start to knead the mixture together in the bowl until it forms a soft and slightly sticky dough, or mix it together in a stand mixer on low setting, until it forms a dough ( about 10 minutes).  

4. If it’s too dry add a splash of cold water.

5. Dust a little flour on the work surface and knead the dough for 10 mins.

6. Put it back in the mixing bowl and cover with cling film greased with a few drops of olive oil.

7. Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hr.

8. Heat oven to 220 C and put a baking sheet or pizza stone on the top shelf to heat up. Once the dough has risen, knock it back by punching it a couple of times with your fist then kneading it again on a floured surface. It should be springy and a lot less sticky. Set aside while you prepare the sauce.

9. For the tomato sauce, mix all the ingredients together ( passata, dried herbs and garlic, salt and pepper to taste) in a bowl, and set aside until needed.

10. Divide the dough into 2 or 4 pieces (depending on whether you want to make large or small pizzas), shape into balls and flatten each piece out as thin as you can get it with a rolling pin or using your hands. 

11. Make sure the dough is well dusted with flour to stop it sticking. Dust another baking sheet with flour then put a pizza base on top – spread 4-5 tbsp of the tomato sauce on top and add some cherry tomato halves and grated plant-based cheese.

12. Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake in the oven on top of your preheated baking tray for 10-12 mins or until the base is puffed up and the plant-based cheese has melted and is bubbling and golden in patches.
