250g pizza base mix or ciabatta bread mix
olive oil
1 clove garlic
crushed
200g tin chopped tomatoes
a small handful of leaves basil
1 ball mozzarella
thinly sliced
pepperoni or jalepeños or black olives or capers or roasted red peppers

Method

step 1
Make up the dough following the instructions on the pack.
step 2
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a small pan, then cook the garlic gently for a couple of minutes. Add the tomatoes, and simmer for 10-15 minutes until really thick. Stir in the basil and season.
step 3
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Roll out the dough into a rectangle 30-35cm long, to fit a baking sheet.
step 4
Trim a thin strip from a long side and 3 thin strips from a short side, and roll these into ropes of equal width.
step 5
Make a grid by laying the long strip down the centre of the dough and the short strips across, so you end up with 8 squares. (You may need to stretch the dough and press it onto the base to keep it in place.)
step 6
Spread each square with some sauce, top with the mozzarella, then arrange pepperoni and jalepeños on alternate squares, and olives, capers and peppers on the rest.
step 7
Bake for 20-25 minutes, then cut into squares to serve.
