You will need:
For the dough:
400g strong white flour
1 tsp sea salt
1 sachet fast action yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
250ml warm water
For the tomato sauce:
4 large, very ripe tomatoes, seeds removed and diced
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 small garlic cloves, crushed
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 ball mozzarella, sliced
1 fennel bulb, sliced
1/2 tbsp sugar
Salami
Make the dough by mixing together the flour, salt, yeast and sugar. Pour in the olive oil then add the warm water.
Knead for 10 minutes then leave for an hour or so until doubled in size. Divide into four, you can freeze what you don’t use.
Next make the tomato sauce. Add the onion with a little olive oil to a frying pan over a low to medium heat and leave to soften for around 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for a few minutes more then stir in the diced tomatoes. Put a lid on the pan and leave to cook for about 10 minutes then remove the lid, turn the heat up and continue cooking until thickened. Add salt and pepper to taste then blend the sauce.
Add the fennel with a good glug of olive oil to a small lidded pan and leave over a low heat for at least 30 minutes or until well softened. Stir occasionally. Remove the lid from the pan and stir in the sugar. Continue to stir until evenly coated and caramelised.
Preheat an oven to 240C. Roll the pizza dough out on a floured surface so that it fits a large baking tray. Lightly flour the baking tray and put the dough on top.
Spread the tomato sauce over the base before covering with the sliced mozzarella, fennel and salami.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges and base are crispy.
