  1. Heat the oven to 240°C (220°C fan) and put two baking trays inside to get hot.
  2. Make the dough. Mix the self-raising flour, the yoghurt and a pinch of salt in a bowl until it comes together, then knead on a floured surface for 1 minute until smooth. Split in two and roll each piece out as thinly as you can.400 g self-raising flour300 g natural yoghurt
  3. Make the sauce. Simmer the chopped tomatoes in a small pan with a pinch of salt and a pinch of dried herbs for 10 minutes, until thick enough to spread.1 tin chopped tomatoes
  4. Carefully lift the bases onto the hot trays. Spread with sauce, tear over the mozzarella and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.250 g mozzarella
  5. Cut into slices and serve with the lettuce as a side salad.1 lettuce
The trick that makes it

Tear the mozzarella and leave it on kitchen paper for 10 minutes. Drier cheese means no soggy middle.
