Prep Time 30 minutes

Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the basic pizza dough, mix, then knead:

35 g dry yeast
1 cup warm water, plus extra if needed
2 T yoghurt
A pinch of salt
600 g flour, plus extra for dusting

For the topping:

2 t oregano
150 g buffalo mozzarella, torn into small pieces
100 g cheddar cheese, grated
75 g Parmesan cheese, grated
A handful rocket
Cherry tomatoes, halved and seasoned with salt and pepper
200 g smoked salmon, sliced ,seasoned and dressed with olive oil and lemon juice
3 T yoghurt and wasabi mix dressing

For the basic tomato sauce:

2 T olive oil
1 clove garlic
10 ripe tomatoes, skinned and halved
1 x 410 g can crushed tomatoes
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Preheat the oven to approximately 260°C. On a flour-dusted surface, roll out the kneaded dough to a thickness of 3 mm in a rectangular shape.
Spread with 2 T of the tomato sauce and sprinkle with oregano.
Bake for 5 minutes, then remove and sprinkle with the cheeses. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes or until cooked and the cheese melted.

Arrange the rocket, cherry tomatoes and smoked salmon on the pizza and finish off with a drizzle of the yoghurt and- wasabi dressing (see below).

To make the tomato sauce:

In a saucepan, heat the oil and briefly fry the garlic. Add the tomato halves and crushed tomatoes. Simmer for 15 minutes, then season to taste.
Cook's note: For the yoghurt and wasabi dressing, mix a tiny amount of wasabi paste with a good dollop of plain Bulgarian yoghurt.
You can always buy ready-made pizza bases from Woolworths, and simply add the rocket, tomatoes and smoked salmon, finishing with the dressing as described above.
