For the tomato sauce
300gonionssliced into rings
3tspsgarlic powder
6canschopped tomatoes
30gtomato puree
freshly ground black pepper
250gcheese to sprinkle
Instructions
Put yeast in approx. 300ml hand hot water with sugar, leave to stand in a warm place until a frothy head has formed.
Meanwhile warm flour on top of your oven while it cooks something else! Add the salt to the flour, then a drizzle of oil, then begin to add the warm yeasty water.
When that’s combined, add more hand hot water until you have a dough which comes away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
Divide this dough into 12 equal portions and stretch them into thin discs approx 9 ins in diameter, on baking sheets.
If you would prefer, you can make 1/3rd of the dough into a large square pizza, and serve a quarter of this per person, as shown in the image above
Put these in a warm place for approx 45 minutes to 1 hr until fat and puffy.
Tomato Sauce
While this is happening, prepare your sauce: fry the onions and seasonings in the oil, add tomatoes and reduce down until it is a thick glossy sauce
Baking your pizzas
When the pizza bases are puffed, pop them in the oven at gas 6 for 2 minutes, remove, ladle on 1/12th of the sauce spreading thinly, bake for 4 more minutes, then sprinkle with cheese (1/12th) and bake again til cheese melts.
Just after sprinkling with the cheese, but before the last baking is the best time to freeze these.
Notes
oven: 200C/180C fan/gas 6
The salt value excludes any you have added yourself, as each family's tastes will differ
