My kids love making pizza! This bread dough pizza base is very economical so you could make some bases in bulk and freeze uncooked, even topped if you want, to defrost and bake when needed. The tomato base sauce will freeze well too, use a jar of pasta sauce or store bought bases if you want to make this easier.

Pizza dough
500 grams bakers (or plain) flour or wholemeal plain
1 teaspoon yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon bread improver
300 ml lukewarm water

Mix together and knead well until smooth leave to rise for 20 minutes and roll out into 2 large pizza bases.

Thermomix: knead for 2minutes and leave to rise for 20 minutes and roll out into 2 large pizza bases.

Tomato Pizza sauce

400 grams tomatoes or tinned tomatoes
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic

To make the sauce to go on the pizza base, chop the onion and crush the garlic and sauté with the oil in a heavy based pot, add crushed tomatoes and chopped herbs, sugar and simmer for 20 minutes and season with the salt and pepper.

When assembling and baking the pizzas for a nice crunchy golden brown base brush the pizza tray or baking tray with oil. Top the rolled out pizza bases with tomato sauce and your favourite toppings here are a few family favourites.
