Instructions

1 ✓

Dice the tomatoes finely. Heat oil in a pan, toss in the crushed garlic, then the tomatoes.

Tip: Don't burn the garlic, just sauté it in the oil.
2 ✓

Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until the juice boils away and you get a thick sauce. Add the spices.

Tip: Thick sauce is the secret to not making the dough soggy (moisture reduction).
3 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Tip: While the sauce cooks, the oven warms up.
4 ✓

Spread the cooled sauce on the dough, sprinkle with cheese.

Tip: Never spread hot sauce on raw dough as it 'cooks' it and makes the surface sticky before baking.
5 ✓

Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Tip: The cheese and sauce bake together.
6 ✓

Sprinkle with fresh coriander when serving.

Tip: The fresh herb adds colour and scent.

Recipe FAQ

Why do I need to cook the sauce?
Raw tomato would be too watery. Cooking thickens it (reduction) and concentrates the flavours.
Can I use tinned tomatoes?
In winter yes, but in summer the taste of fresh tomatoes is inimitable.
