Making homemade pizza is easier than most people realise. The trick is getting your oven hot enough to cook the dough quickly. When cooked in an earth oven, the pizzas have a wonderful contrast of slightly burnt crispy bits and softer parts. If you've made yourself a pizza oven in the garden, this is a great recipe to try out cooking a pizza in it. Once you've cracked the recipe, why not host a pizza party and invite friends round to make their own pizzas? The choice of pizza toppings is endless.
For a conventional oven at home, heat it to 240˚C/475˚F/gas mark 9.
