Here is a cheat's way of preparing a pizza in a microwave, using ready-made pizza bases.

Ingredients:

4 x 15cm pre-baked pizza bases
100g tomato sauce for pizza
2 tbsp basil leaves, shredded
1 tsp dried oregano, crumbled
175g Cheddar cheese, grated
56g tin of anchovy fillets, drained
20 black olives
rocket or basil leaves, to garnish

Method:

You can, of course, buy pre-made pizza bases, but if you want to make your own, follow my recipe for the Perfect Pizza Base, roll into 15cm rounds and bake on a hot pizza stone, without topping, for about 8 minutes. Make a large batch of dough and freeze the pre-baked pizzas for later use.

Take the tomato sauce for pizza and mix in the basil and oregano. Divide between the pizza bases and spread evenly over the tops.

Top with the grated cheese, arrange the anchovy fillets and olives attractively on top then place in your microwave (1200W) and cook on FULL power for about 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the base is hot.

Serve immediately.
