Step 1

Place half the tin of tomatoes into a food hand mill with large holes, place a bowl underneath and break up the tomatoes, repeat with the remaining tin. You could use your hands or a stick blender, just make sure you go through each tomato one at a time.

Step 2

Add the salt to the marinara and stir through, you should have a slightly chunky marinara sauce.

Step 3

Take 1 ball of dough, dust with semolina flour and push the air out towards the crust and slap out the dough. Check out the ‘pizza for beginners’ series on YouTube for a guide on opening a pizza dough ball.

Step 4

Place the marinara sauce onto the pizza and spread out ensuring a thin crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle over the dried oregano, chopped garlic clove and olive oil.

Step 6

Heat the Gozney Dome or Roccbox to 500°C / 900°F, lower to 430°C / 800°F then increase the temperature to 480°C / 890°F, a high-medium flame – this will give the pizza a really good spring.

Step 7

Place the pizza onto the Gozney Placement Peel and shape so it fills the peel, place into the oven. Leave for a few seconds and use the Gozney Turning Peel to turn and get an even bake.

Step 8

Remove the pizza from the oven, tear over the fresh basil and use the Gozney Pizza Rocker to slice into 4 and serve.
