Make a well in the flour mix. Mix in the wet ingredients and turn out onto a table. Knead well until a smooth dough forms

Separate the dough into 150g portions and mould into dough balls. Place the dough balls on a tray, cover with cling film and allow to rest for approximately 1 hour in the fridge

Preheat the oven to 240°C/gas mark 9 or as high as it will go

Place the rested dough balls on a lightly floured work surface and roll out into approximately 1/2cm thick rounds

Bake the tomatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until just tender. Remove from the oven and leave in the foil to cool
