Steps

1 hour 30 mins

1

Recipe makes two large pizzas. First make the dough. Put the flour in a mixing bowl with 1 teaspoon each of sugar and salt, and the yeast. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and 300ml of warm water. Mix and knead to form a dough, adding more water if too dry and more flour if too wet. Tip onto a floured work surface and kneed for a further 5 mins. Oil the inside of the bowl, then cover with clingfilm and leave somewhere warm to prove, until the dough has doubled in size (about an hour probably).
2

Preheat oven to 200°C. Divide the dough into two (or more depending on number and size of pizzas wanted) and roll into pizza bases. Blend the tomatoes, tomato purée, chillies and garlic to a smooth sauce in a blender or food processor. Add the remaining sugar, and salt and pepper to taste, along with some of the basil leaves.
3

Spread the sauce over the bases and scatter over the mozzarella. Arrange the chicken, pepperoni, pepper and onion slices over the top, then the basil leaves and drizzle with a little olive oil.
4

Bake on the oven for 20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is lightly browned. Serve fresh from the oven and enjoy!
