- Make a well in the middle and add the water and olive oil
- Begin mixing with a paddle for approx 5 mins, until the dough is smooth and consistent
- Cover the bowl with clingfilm and leave to prove in cool environment for around 1.5 hours, until it’s doubled in size
- Take the dough out of the bowl and place on a well floured surface
- Knock the dough back and knead again until smooth
- Roll into a ball and set aside for another hour
- Preheat the oven to 180°C Fan / 350°F / Gas Mark 6
- Roll out the dough and make into a heart shape, pinching the sides to make the crust
- Brush with olive oil
- Spread a layer of tomato passata over the pizza
- Sprinkle over the layer of Godminster Cheddar
