Method

  1. Tip the bread mix into a large bowl. Add 320ml lukewarm water and mix with a wooden spoon until you have a rough dough. Turn onto a clean work surface and knead for 8-10 mins until smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 4 equal-sized pieces and shape each into a smooth ball. Lightly grease a large baking tray with olive oil and place the dough in it, evenly spaced apart. Cover with a clean tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hr.
  2. Mix the passata and garlic together; season with salt to taste.
  3. Heat a large, heavy-based frying pan over a high heat on the hob.
  4. On a clean surface lightly dusted with flour, roll each piece of dough into a roughly 20cm wide circle. Spoon a little passata into the centre of each and smooth to the edges with the back of a spoon, leaving a 2cm border. One at a time, slide the pizza bases into the pan. Top with a portion of mozzarella, pepper and onion, and cook for 2-3 mins until the base is starting to crisp and the dough has risen slightly. Meanwhile, preheat the grill on high.
  5. Place the pizza under the grill for 3-4 mins until the cheese has melted and the crust is lightly golden. Repeat with the remaining pizzas, and serve with a rocket and tomato salad on the side.
