Why it works: Olive and tomato match in chemistry and in kitchens. They rank in the top 1% of all ingredient pairs, and 14,164 recipes mention both. Both carry 3-hexenal, which smells apple, fruity. The science ↓
The recipe
Ingredients
Contains: milk, wheat (auto-detected from the ingredients and method; we can miss things, so check labels)
Also mentioned in the method: cheese, cheddar
Directions
In warm water mix sugar and yeast. Rest for 30minuts and then add your oil, salt, flour and some white pepper.
Add for 10 mins and coat with oil and allow to prove for 1hour.
Make your sauce by heating oil. Add garlic and well chopped onions. Add Oregano then Tomato, sugar and little salt and black pepper and allow to cook until liquid evaporates from the sauce. All to cool down.
Chop, Slice and shred your veggies as needed
After one hour take off dough. Cut and shape and put into baking Sheet or pizza pan. Poke holes on the dough. This helps air to aid the cooking process.
