Method

Step 1

TO MAKE THE DOUGH: Combine the flour, sugar, yeast and salt in a bowl. Then add the water and 2 tbsps of the oil and knead until the dough forms into a smooth ball. Knead for 5 minutes.

Step 2

If the dough is sticky, add flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 3

Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour.

Step 4

Turn the dough out into a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes before rolling them out. Roll the dough into two flat pizza bases.

Step 5

TO MAKE THE PIZZA SAUCE: Melt the butter and heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, and garlic and sauté until soft. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and stir. Add the rest of the ingredients. Lower heat, simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 6

FOR THE TOPPINGS: Preheat oven to 230°C. Grease two baking trays. Place a pizza base on each prepared tray. Spread some of the pizza sauce over the pizza bases and sprinkle each with 1⁄4 cup mozzarella. Top each with salami, mushrooms and tomatoes. Sprinkle each with remaining mozzarella. Bake for 10 minutes or until bases are crisp and cheese is melted and golden.
