Learn how to make perfect thin crispy pizzas from the comfort of your own kitchen!

Firstly we will make the dough, kneading it until lovely and smooth. We will then make the delicious tomato sauce while the dough rises. Once the sauce is made it’s time to prepare the toppings. Choose your favourite ingredients to make the pizzas of your choice.

You have enough dough and enough sauce to make 4 pizzas.

We will make one at a time, baking them in a preheated oven for 8 minutes. You can freeze some of the dough if you would prefer not to make all four pizzas in one go.

You will be amazed at how delicious your pizzas are!
