Method 1. Place the flour and salt together in a large bowl. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and
gradually add to the flour. Mix well to obtain a dough. Knead well for a couple of minutes. 2. Shape the dough into a ball and leave to rest in a bowl, covered with a cloth for 5 minutes. 3. Knead the dough for a couple of minutes more and leave to rise for a further 30 minutes in a
warm place. 4. Flatten the dough with the palm of your hand and using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a
thickness of 0.5 cm. Place the dough on a lightly oiled baking tray, leaving the edges slightly thicker.
5. Mix the garlic with the passata and some seasoning. Spread over the pizza base, leaving a border around the edge. Add your selected toppings. Drizzle with a little olive oil.
6. Place on the oiled tray and into a hot oven (220C) for 10 minutes until the top is bubbling and the dough is turning brown.
