Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups plain flour
- 7g sachet dry yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon caster sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/4 cups grated mozzarella
- 250g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
- Wafer-thin cooked ham (can be swapped for another meat of your choice)
Method
1. Preheat oven to 200 C. Grease a 12-hole muffin pan.
2. Combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Make a well. Whisk oil and 2/3 cup warm water in a jug. Add to well. Mix together to form a soft, sticky dough.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes or until dough springs back when touched.
4. Roll out dough until 5mm thick. Using a 7cm round cutter, cut 12 rounds from dough, re-rolling and cutting trimmings if needed. Line holes of prepared pan with dough rounds, pushing into pan to come 3/4 up side of each hole.
5. Spread pizza sauce over base and sides of pizza bases. Top each pizza base with tomato and ham, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then dried herbs. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until bases are golden and cheese is melted. Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Carefully transfer to a baking paper-lined wire rack to cool. Serve warm or cold.
