Method
Dissolve the yeast in the water, add the flour then the salt and knead for 10 minutes until smooth.
Cover and leave at room temperature for 4 hours until doubled.
Divide into 4 balls and cover for another 1 hour.
Crush the tomatoes by hand with just a pinch of salt — no cooking.
Stretch each ball with your fingers from the centre outwards, leaving a puffy rim; don't use a rolling pin.
Add two spoonfuls of sauce and the mozzarella pieces and bake on a preheated tray at your oven's highest setting for 7 minutes.
Take it out and add basil and a drizzle of olive oil.
