Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Mix the flour with 8 g of the salt, add the yeast water and half the olive oil and knead for 10 minutes. Cover and let rise for 1-1½ hours until doubled.

  2. 2

    For the sauce, crush the garlic. Simmer the tomatoes, garlic, thyme and remaining salt in a small saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes until thickened, then let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Thinly slice or tear the mozzarella. Preheat the oven to 250 °C.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough in two and press into 30 cm rounds on two trays greased with the remaining oil. Spread the sauce thinly, leaving a 1 cm border.

  5. 5

    Distribute the mozzarella evenly on top.

  6. 6

    Bake on the lowest rack at 250 °C for 12-15 minutes until the edges are browned and the cheese bubbles. Slice and serve hot.
