- Optional parsley to garnish
Cupboard Essentials
- Salt & Pepper
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat oven to 200°C
- Roll the dough with a dusted rolling pin to slightly increase the surface area of your pre-made dough. Place into a lined baking tray and pop in the oven for 5 minutes, this will ensure a crispy base.
- Meanwhile, blend the passata with the garlic, tomato puree and optional anchovies.
- Spread the sauce onto the crispy base and then add half the capers & olives. Scatter the cheese then spread the rest of the olives and capers to crisp up on top.
- Pop in the oven for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden & crispy. Season with flakey salt & black pepper and optionally garnish with fresh parsley. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes to finish.
Notes
- Work with room-temperature pizza dough for easier handling.
- Use a pizza stone for even crust cooking and a crispy texture.
- Pre-cook the dough before adding toppings for the crispiest crust.
- Avoid excess sauce (about ½ cup for a 12-inch pizza) to prevent a mushy crust.
