How to prepare Pizza Caprese

1. Make the base: Put the flour into a large bowl, then stir in the yeast and salt. Make a well, pour in 300 ml warm water and the olive oil and bring together with a wooden spoon until you have a soft, fairly wet dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 mins until smooth. To achieve the perfect consistency, when making the dough, keep some extra flour and water nearby to add if necessary. Cover with a tea towel and set aside. You can leave the dough to rise if you like, but it’s not essential for a thin crust.

2. Roll out the dough: if you’ve let the dough rise, give it a quick knead, then split into a ball. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into large rounds, about 25cm across, using a rolling pin. The dough needs to be very thin as it will rise in the oven. Lift the rounds onto two floured baking sheets.

3. Make the Basil Pesto: Use our recipe for the best homemade pesto.

4. Top and bake: Heat the oven to 460°C to 485°C fan/gas 8.

Mix your garlic olive oil over the dough, this includes garlic powder, salt, oregano, and olive oil.

Slice tomatoes and mozzarella, on the pizza crust, slightly overlapping until the entire surface of the pizza is covered. Then add sprinkle basil pesto over the pizza.
