When the days are hot and long, it’s hard to beat pizza for an easy meal. It’s light, packed with flavour and delivers the saltiness we crave.

Proper Italian pizza has a thin base that can support a traditionally light topping. When we make them ourselves, it’s easy to weigh down the base with too much cheese. Pizza dough is easy to make, but bought dough works well — check at your local deli.

Try rolling the rounds out lightly to thin them a bit. Some can be a bit spongy — one Italian cookbook I read suggests putting the base into the oven for five minutes before adding the topping.
