- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/4 cup bottled pasata (tomato pasta sauce)
- 1 cup (100g) coarsely grated pizza cheese (packet blend of mozzarella/cheddar/parmesan)

- 2 tablespoons fresh small basil leaves

In a small bowl whisk together yeast and water. Set aside in a warm place for 10 minutes or until foaming.Step 2
Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre, stir in yeast mixture and oil to form a soft dough. Use your hands to bring dough together. Knead dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.Step 3
Grease a large bowl with extra olive oil, roll dough in bowl to coat with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and then a tea towel. Set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 1-1½ hours or until dough doubles in size.Step 4
Preheat oven to 240°C (220°C fan forced).

Spread each base with half the sauce, and then top with half the cheese, the salami and then the remaining cheese.
