Method
1
To make the dough, combine the yeast with the water and leave to stand for 10 minutes
- 4g of dried yeast
- 210ml of water, at room temperature
2
In a bowl, combine the yeast/water mixture with the flour and mix for 2-3 minutes, or until a dough starts to form. Add the salt and mix through
- 300g of strong white flour
- 6g of salt
3
Scrape the dough out onto a clean, unfloured work surface
4
Knead and work the dough until it starts to come together. Keep working until it comes away from the work surface cleanly and looks silky smooth
5
Flour the work surface and begin to shape the dough into a ball by stretching the outsides into the middle and pressing them in firmly with your thumbs
6
Place the dough into a lightly floured bowl and cover with cling film. Leave to prove in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size
7
Meanwhile, place a pan over a medium heat and add a dash of olive oil. Add the onions and sweat for 5-6 minutes until soft
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 tsp olive oil
8
Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7
9
Knock back the dough by kneading for another 5 minutes. Cut into 8 even pieces
10
Use a little flour to dust the work surface and roll each piece out as thinly as possible. Use a blunt knife to cut into heart shapes, transfer onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper
12
Place the pizzas on a baking stone or tray and into the oven, bake for 8-12 minutes
13
Once nearly cooked, take the pizzas out and top with the sliced mozzarella. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese melts
- 250g of buffalo mozzarella, sliced
14
Once melted, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve immediately
