Odlums Margherita Pizza
Nothing can beat being able to make a delicious pizza mid-week in no time at all. Using the pan on the hob really gives you such a similar result to restaurant pizza. We’ve used a combo of the Odlum’s Strong flour for the perfect dough and the amazing Roma Chopped Tomatoes in Basil. For more great recipes check out Odlums.ie

Recipe Steps
- For the pizza dough mix all the ingredients in a large bowl with a fork until nicely combined.
- Tip out onto the surface and knead with floured hands nicely for 5-10mins until soft and silky.
- Place back into the mixing bowl and cover for 30mins to an hour.
- Once proved knock back the dough by punching all the air out and divide into 4 equal sizes. You can clingfilm the extra dough if not using and freeze for again.
- For the Tomato sauce – mix the chopped tomatoes, vinegar, sugar and salt and simmer in a saucepan for 5-10mins.
- Heat an oven-proof frying pan on the hob medium heat.
- Stretch or roll out the dough until it’s around the same size as your large frying pan. Place the base on and warm the base for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Spread the tomato sauce all over the pizza base.
- Now place on the mozzarella and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200oC for 8 mins until nicely golden and crispy. Serve sliced on a board (with baby basil leaves over top to garnish) Enjoy!
