Notes
If you are feeling organised buy fresh basil leaves to add to the sauce or decorate the pizza with chorizo or pepperoni. Red peppers and sprinkling the pizza with chunks of goats cheese is also delicious. So many options and choices, let the children choose from a selection of their favourite toppings and make the pizzas themselves. The dough can be left to rise but if you prefer a thin crust use straight away. You will be left with some tomato sauce, this can be frozen and ready to use for next time once defrosted. Alternatively use a smaller tin of chopped tomatoes.
