1 tbsp Clover Olive Pride Extra Virgin Olive Oil plus extra for brushing
180ml warm water

METHOD
Heat the oven to 200C. Mix together the flour, baking powder and 1 tsp salt in a medium-sized bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of Clover Olive Pride Extra Virgin Olive Oil and warm water then stir until it forms a ball. If stiff, add more water, it should be soft but not sticky.

Knead on a floured surface for 3-4 mins. Divide the dough into two, then flatten out each piece of dough into a 20cm circle. Place each pizza base onto a baking sheet - sprinkled with semolina. Carefully brush each pizza base with Clover Olive Pride Extra Virgin Olive Oil. 

For the margherita pizza, spread the tomato puree onto the base followed by the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle over the dried oregano and salt and pepper to taste. For the bacon and feta pizza, spread the tomato puree onto the base followed by the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle over the bacon, feta and fresh chilli (if using) and season with salt and pepper.

Bake the pizzas for 15 mins – 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Remove from oven, top with garnish, and drizzle each pizza with Clover Olive Pride Extra Virgin Olive Oil and season with salt and pepper.
