Pizza

This is A&L style pizza. Thin, crispy, with toppings we think are amazing together. There are technically no rules for the toppings. But, quite frankly, we agree that this is the best combo. Lovely pizza, and not actually as hard to make (or unhealthy) as you'd think!

Some other suggestions?
-Pepperoni sausage
-Courgette
-Capers
-Mushrooms
- Pineapple
-thinly sliced jalapeno peppers
...though the combination I've put on the ingredients is pretty much perfection.

Method

1. Preheat the oven, and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
2. In a bowl, combine the two flours with the yeast and pour in the warm water. Mix with a wooden spoon, then work the dough with your hands for a minute. It should be soft, not sticky, but if you find it is a bit too dry add a splash more water.

3. Flour a surface and roll out the dough to a rough circle, 30cm across and very thin. 
   
4. Lift it onto the baking sheet.
5. Spread the can of tomatoes over, with a 2cm boarder. Chop the cherry tomatoes in half and distribute over the pizza. Add the sundried tomatoes (if they are large, chop them roughly).
   
   
   
6. Scatter over the mozzarella. 
   
7. Chop the olives into halves and put over the pizza.Tear the parma ham into little pieces and randomly place over.
   
8. Chop the garlic finely and scatter over the pizza. Sprinkle over a bit of dried herb.
9. Drizzle over the olive oil and leave the pizza to rise for 20 minutes, in a warm place (e.g., over the oven).
10. Bake the pizza for 10 minutes until the crusts are crispy and golden, and the cheese has melted.
    
11. Serve warm.
