Step 1:

You can make the passata from scrath but II bought some and then added ingredients for my own flavouring, i.e. Oregano.

Add the garlic here too.

Would it not be better to let the dough prove for a while for a lighter base?

Hi Cveale,

I hadn't thought about that.
It would give it a lighter base, but here I was going more for quick and easy.

Definitely something to try for next time :)

I never said it would work. But theres a good chance it will.
