Serves 2

Preparation time: 30 – 45minutes

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

1. 2 pizza bases or pizza dough
2. 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
3. 8-10 tomato slices
4. 10 – 12 basil leaves finely chopped
5. 4 tomatoes, boiled and chopped finely
6. 1 onion finely chopped
7. 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
8. 1 tbsp olive oil
9. 1 tsp butter
10. 1 tsp oregano
11. 1 tbsp tomato puree
12. salt and pepper to taste
13. pinch of sugar

Directions:

Lets start with the pizza sauce. Heat a saucepan, add olive oil and butter. Next add onion and garlic and fry them until the onions are transparent. Once done add the tomatoes, tomato puree, oregano, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook the sauce until it comes to a boil. Once done cover and cook on low flame for about 15 – 20 minutes. Let cool before you use.

If you are using pizza dough flour the surface you are going to roll it out and start rolling it into your desired size. Homemade pizza dough or pizza made from store bought pizza dough definitely tastes better but i use store bought pizza base when i don’t feel like making it from scratch. Once your base is ready spread a generous amount of the pizza sauce. Sprinkle grated cheese and basil leaves. Top it with the tomato slices and bake at 180 degrees C for 15 minutes. Make sure you keep checking it as the base might burn. Once done serve hot!
