Method
- Recite Bismillah
- Combine flour, salt, sugar, yeast, butter & water to make a sticky dough. We recommend making the dough in a a stand mixer. (You may need more water.)
- Then add olive oil & Knead.
- Cover with a bag & allow to rise for at least an hour.
- Meanwhile prepare sauce by adding olive oil, mixed herbs, red chilli flakes & garlic in a pot. Leave the ingredients to “marry” in the pot for 5 mins.
- Then turn on the heat & add onions. Cook till soft & transparent.
- Add in remaining ingredients & cook till thick on low heat for around 30 mins.
- Roll out dough to desired size bases.
- Preheat oven to 180c.
- Pre- bake your base for 5-7 mins. This will result in a base that holds on its own & is crispy on the outside & soft & airy on the inside.
- Spread sauce & add toppings. (leftover sauce can be frozen for next time)
- When ready to bake preheat oven to 180c
- Bake till lightly golden. Enjoy!
