Description

In Austria, we had lessons on Saturday mornings. When we got home, our parents would be waiting for us with the pizza dough already made. Everyone washed their hands and prepared their slice of pizza on the large family baking tray, choosing their favourite toppings. It was a joyful ritual that I've carried on with my own family. Today I'm sharing with you my recipe for homemade pizza dough and my express tomato sauce, a sauce I've been making since I was a teenager and which really makes all the difference! Tip: serve your pizza with a fresh salad for a balanced, convivial meal.
