RECIPE

  1. Preheat your oven (220 C/fan 200 C/Gas 7) or Ninja Oven (370 C) and dust your worktop with flour.

  2. Slice your dough in half and shape into two equal balls, rest for 15 minutes.

  3. Flatten your dough balls until they’ve doubled in width, flip and repeat until each one is 24cm in diameter leaving 1.5cm for the crust.

  4. Place each base onto a baking tray. Spread the passata evenly over each base.

  5. Top with mozzarella and season with oregano, black pepper and a drizzle of oil.

  6. Cook for 9-19 minutes in conventional ovens, or 2 minutes in your Ninja Pizza Ovens making sure the base is crisp.
