Method

Ingredients

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.
