(You should know that, for the dough to rise, we find it best to leave it in a warm environment for around 1 hour before baking. However, the actual cooking time is only 15 minutes.)

- We make our pizzas with a wholewheat base, but feel free to make a white version should you wish. BBC Good Food has some great recipes for both, and inspiration for different toppings: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/search.do?keywords=pizza
Instructions:
1) Mix together the flour, yeast, salt in a large bowl. Add the water and continue to mix, until a soft dough forms.
2) Lightly flour a surface (you can use plain flour here) and knead for 10 minutes.
3) Place back into the mixing bowl, cover with a damp teatowel, and leave to rise for 1 hour.
4) In good time, preheat the oven to 220°c.
5) To make the tomato sauce, fry the onion in a pan, then add to a bowl. Pour in the passata or chopped tomatos, herbs, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and place to the side.
6) Once risen, place back onto the floured surface and roll out into either a circle or a rectangle, and place on a lightly greased baking tray.
7) Pour over the tomato sauce (or pesto sauce, if you like.)
8) Sprinkle your toppings on evenly, adding the cheese last. Around 5 different toppings is perfect.
9) Bake in the centre of the oven for 15 minutes (or less, depending on how crispy you like it).
