Quick & Easy Pizzas

Homemade pizzas built on a simple two-ingredient self-raising flour dough, so there's no yeast and no waiting for it to rise. Jamie’s Tip - you can swap in veg oil for olive oil, if that’s what you’ve got, and Cheddar or red Leicester for mozzarella. You can also use chipotla sausages for a topping if you like - simply squeeze the sausage meat out of the casings and crumble it on top before baking. Also delicious served with a crunchy green salad.

Ingredients

  • garlic cloves 2 (sliced)
  • olive oil 1 tbsp
  • tinned plum tomatoes 400 g
  • sea salt pinch
  • black pepper pinch
  • self raising flour 400 g
  • red onion ½ (sliced)
  • broccoli 150 g
  • mozzarella cheese ball 80 g (torn)

Method

Make the tomato sauce

  • Peel and finely slice the garlic.
  • Place the garlic in a pan on a medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and fry until golden.
  • Scrunch in the tinned plum tomatoes(or tip in and break up with a spoon as you go), simmer for 5 minutes, or until thickened slightly.
  • Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, then remove from the heat and set aside.

Make the dough

  • Preheat the oven to 220°C and rub the inside of a 25cm x 35cm baking tray with olive oil.
  • Tip the self raising flour into a mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and make a well in the middle.
  • Pour in 250ml of water, then use a fork to stir and bring in the flour from the outside to form a dough – when the dough starts to come together, dust your hands with flour and pat it into a ball.
  • Knead on a flour-dusted surface for a few minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  • Divide the dough into 4 pieces, then roll and stretch each one into a 20cm round or oval.

Add the toppings & bake

  • Thinly slice the red onion. Cut the broccoli into florets.
  • Spread each pizza base generously with the tomato sauce, then tear over the mozzarella.
  • Scatter the red onion and broccoli on top.
  • Drizzle lightly with olive oil, then bake on the top shelf of the oven for 10 minutes, or until golden and puffed up.
  • Serve straight away, also delicious with a crunchy green salad.
