Pizza with a twist

First, make the dough. Knead all of the ingredients together for 10 minutes to form an elastic dough. Finally, dust the dough with a little flour and shape it into a ball. Wrap in cling film and let it rise at room temperature for 15 minutes. In the meantime, make the sauce. Sauté the garlic in a little olive oil, then deglaze with the tomatoes. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Once the temperature is reached, switch to top heat. With well-floured hands, form pizzas, 5mm thick, into the desired size. Let it stand for about 10-15 minutes. Now add frying oil to a large frying pan, leaving about 2-3cm of oil. Let it heat up and fry the pizzas for just under a minute on each side. Remove from the pan and place on the baking tray. Add the sauce and mozzarella and place on the top rack of the oven. Once the mozzarella has melted, it is ready to serve. Goes well with a salad. You can also change the toppings to your liking. As children, we just coated the fried dough in sugar.
